Those clever words immediately made sense to me for their inherent meanings the first time I saw them. So they are actually quite useful in their pairings.

I love puns just like everyone else, but when you have a word that precisely describes the thing you have, why not use it instead of using a clever metaphor?

Well isn't that nice for the one person who intuits their meaning, for the rest of us we would like to not have to translate already designated words to new words for no other reason than to be playful.
