A guy who names candle scents.
A guy who names paint colors.
A guy who renames parts of the human body.
Taking up the third in this list, while the names of things as they are didn't stop Stevens (dry cattarhs) I wonder what would happen if we approached the renaming of organs, parts, et al., using say, kennings.
Surely, names like epiglottis, uvula and others which are not descriptive of function (unless maybe you are a medical expert) would be better off. No? Go ahead, pick a part ... a thingy ... and rename it. Remember, do it in the form of a kenning: Whale road, sail road, etc. for the ocean. You know.
