Top 10 Things with the Most Misleading Names
There are several lists about different kinds of things that have misleading names animals, music artists movies etc. However I realized that there was no list of things in general that had misleading names. So yes anything goes here animals, places music as long as you can explain why the name is misleading it can go on here.
French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of fast food restaurants. Fries in America are generally salted and are often served with ketchup; in many countries they are topped instead with other condiments or toppings, including vinegar, mayonnaise, or other local specialties. They should call it Belgian Fries since it came from Belgium and not France.
They're from Belgium, not France.
Still delicious though!
This is the most misleading country ever. How does America is united when they don't unite with other countries in both North America and South America? So, the real united states is the whole continent of Americas.
I find it funny because people from the US refer to themselves as "Americans" when the USA is the United States IN North America (or just the Americas).
Eh, I would say we are united most of the time. Just because we have political disagreements does not mean we hate each other, well some do.
Because we're not united at all.

In case anyone doesn't get what Powell means, "grande" is Spanish for big, which is... ironic in this case.
I kind of put her on as a joke but "Grande" is an ironic name for someone so short.
Grande means big in Spanish which is ironic because she is very small.
Explain that to her ancestor.
The koala is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae and its closest living relatives are the wombats. To be honest I was kind of running out of ideas here but did not want to steal from another list. Admittedly this is not always what they are called but still I have heard some children have thought that they are bears when in fact even we are more closely related to bears than they are
The term western world was conceived when the Soviets and the U.S. were fighting over power. The countries that supported the U.S. were classified as the Western World, even if they weren't from the western hemisphere.
Many of the countries that are considered Western countries are not geographically in the Western part of the world my country is about as far East as you can get but is still called a Western country.
Greenland is an island country part of the Kingdom of Denmark. It is located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Greenland is the world's largest island, it is one of the three constituent countries that form the Kingdom of Denmark, along with Denmark and the Faroe Islands; the citizens of these countries are all Danish nationals.

I have heard it was actually misleading on purpose because they wanted people to go there.
This is so quite ironic. Greenland is icy while Iceland is not. This is so funny.
Greenland is very icy.
Iceland is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic Ocean and the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Iceland's capital and largest city is Reykjavík, which (along with its surrounding areas) is home to over 65% of the population. Iceland is the only part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that rises above sea level, and its central volcanic plateau is erupting almost constantly. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains, and glaciers, and many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence ...read more. Same with Greenland. Iceland is not icy while Greenland is icy. Funniest names ever. They need to swap their names.
Same idea as Greenland
Iceland is very green.
These are actually schools that you have to pay to go to or what the rest of the world would call private schools.
Oof that sucks.
The brand and associated show are extremely well known.
The Newcomers
There are several games in the series so it isn't very final.
Dora is the main protagonist in the show "Dora the Explorer". Her main occupation is exploring with her monkey friend, Boots. As far as children's show go there is nothing wrong with this but she is hardly an explorer if she only "explores" mapped areas.
Rhode Island, officially the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, is a state in the New England region of the United States. It's not an island.

White chocolate believe it or not isn't chocolate at all, it's just cocoa butter mixed with sugar with a bit of vanilla added.
This would seem to imply the middle of the Western United states when this region is actually mid way between East and West and primarily in the more Northern part of the country.
The 1975 are an English pop-rock band originating from Manchester. The group consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Matthew "Matty" Healy, lead guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer George Daniel. This band was formed in 2002, not 1975.
So many of the artists included are not rock and roll be it soul, hip hop, pop or anything else it would make more sense if it was called the music hall of fame or maybe the modern (as opposed to classical) music hall of fame.
It is should be Music Hall of Fame since there are pop singers, rappers and R&B singer are inducted. Maybe in the future, Justin Bieber will be inducted in RRHF.
This is more like artist after Rock and Roll era (1949 and beyond).
Maroon 5 is an American pop/pop rock band that originated in Los Angeles, California. Before the current group was established, the original four members, Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick, formed a band known as Kara's Flowers in 1994, while they were still in high school. Ironically, despite that picture, they have seven members.
In fact, many say they only have one.
This may not make sense at first. Here is why it is misleading it implies that fish are an actual defined category. In actual fact fish are several groups of animals and some of these are actually more closely related to land dwelling vertebrates than they are to other fish.
Job for a Cowboy is an American death metal band from Glendale, Arizona. Formed in 2003, the band's debut album Genesis was released in 2007, peaking at No. You'd think that they are a country band when you first hear the name of the band but their are actually death metal.
This is somewhat subjective but it would seem to imply that vocals are the only factor considered in reality the winners make much more sense if it is considered to be the best song or album in general (of course that still does not mean that they always get it right).
Can't believe I forgot it this beach is only 55 miles long.
It's not like I can just waltz in and claim all the units for myself. And it's sometimes called "projects" even after they're done being built.
It has actually lasted 116 years. Similarly, the so-called 100-member gypsy orchestra in my country has about 150 members
Lasted over a hundred years.
