A name so cool you can picture the edgy font in your head

This headset is a great example of how a word can slowly change over the years. This headset has the name "Revolver." Why? Because it sounds tough. It's named after a type of weapon that always looks cool in video games. But why was "Revolver" the name of the weapon? Because it revolved! And yet, this headset will only revolve if you put it on and spin yourself around. You're about to own a "revolver" that doesn't actually revolve, and yet, you understand it perfectly. Why? Because English is WEIRD.
