As for the wrong definitions ... sometimes the differences in our food names/descriptions are because of the regional differences that foods take on. Of course, I can't think of examples.

I guess a seasonal one, right now, might be stuffing and dressing. To me they are one and the same, but I know for some, they mean different things.
