Similarly, using the word "original" to describe plain potato chips is wrong. It's the most unoriginal flavor of the lot. Just call it "plain".

It's not similar. Unfortunately, "original" is one of the words with a couple of very close but different meaning. This one even goes first in the dictionary:

> Existing at the beginning of a particular period, process or activity.

The original meaning of the root "origin" comes from Latin: to rise -> beginning, source birth.
