“”As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it

—Gore Vidal |
A misnomer is an inappropriate name for something that is actually the opposite of what it is called. Misnomers can be intentional or unintentional, slight or blatant, and created either due to a misunderstanding, a malicious effort at deception, or a sarcastic sense of humor.
