"Baby food" doesn't contain babies, "Cottage pie" doesn't contain cottages, "Toad in the hole" doesn't contain toads, are those terminologies incorrect too?

It's food FOR babies, dumbass.

It's a pie made IN a cottage, dumbass.

Never tried it, don't care for silly things like that.

Yes, it's very misleading. But rightly or *wrongly* that's what it's called.

OK Shepherds pie that isn't made in a Shepherd and doesn't contain Shepherds .

Because YOU consider it silly it doesn't exist.

Face it (whether you consider it sensible or not) there are lots of things which don't contain the thing their name contains

Never hard it used in real life. It's tarmac.

It's the shepherds' favourite pie.

No, it's just very rare.

I'm still waiting for you to think of one.

How about "Mettaled road" doesn't contain metal. Voila and the circle is complete .

Perhaps your life, though real, is limited. The expression 'metalled road' and its converse 'unmetalled road' were used in the key to 1" Ordnance Survey maps last time I looked. Though it may actually be about fifty years since I read this bit of the key.

Is that your sociopathic tendencies coming to the fore? "If I haven't got personal experience of it, it doesn't exist".

The O.S. use it but you haven't heard it so ... it doesn't exist.

Look under "met" this leads to Metalled (SUSI/SIM Products)

or

again under "met"

Well, he doesn't have to be a sociopath to hold this view. It's been proposed by just about every leading philosopher over the past 2-3,000 years. Whether you go along with it or not (I personally don't) it does mark James out as an exceptionally brilliant and gifted individual.

Why are you arguing with a troll?

?Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.?

Nobody says "metalled road".

Funny how nobody ever actually says it in conversation, they say "tarmacced".

This psychopath is very successfully trolling all of you.

Took you long enough to click.

Sociopath.

Synonym but we won't go there...

I always laugh at those people driving Uncle Festus cars with four doors and a gyrating hula girl in the rear window. Dingleberries completes the picture.

Never owned a SUV, have you? People would be overjoyed if they could fill up in a minute or two for less than $100. Even with my car I have ample time to clean the windows and license plate, if needed.
