i think this works.
Rail gun
The Roman Empire did not create prosperity and come to be feared by having meetings and doing paperwork; they did this by killing all who opposed them.

A rail gun doesn't fire rails nor is it a traditional gun.

No, thats a misnomer. It does not make a comparison.

eh, oh well. I tried. I once heard that the colloquial name of a mass driver was a rail gun. I with all the logic cells ,which is very few i might add, i have working double time i figured it might work.

Colloquial means laymen's terms or common language.
An automobile colloquially is a car, etc.
Come on Harrie, dont give up, try it out.

Not a great comparison, but you get the idea.

well if thats the case my only mistake was that it wasn't a smilie or metaphor. Rail gun though, now that i think about it, is not a misnomer as you said. Its a colloquialism which is an informal word or phrase that is more common in conversation than in formal speech or writing.
I believe a misnomer is something more like an insult or calling someone or something, something its not.
well lets try again.
ummm.
Fast as a jackrabbit on summer sand
Actually that didn't make sense.

Well, railgun is colloquial and a misnomer. Misnomers are not insults, they just do not mean what they say.
We are all as confused as a dog listening to the phone.
