On a Misnomer

I had a thought the other day. And what do I do when I have a thought? Well, I turn it into a Thought of course.

So, here it is:

Don’t you kinda think that “sanitarium” is a misnomer? I mean, sanitarium makes it sound like it’s for the sane. And it doesn’t necessarily sound like it’s for people. I feel like it’s for crazy fish, you know? Because sanitarium reminds me of aquarium.

Anyways, in actuality, a sanitarium is for INsane people.

So, shouldn’t it be called an insanitarium? Doesn’t that make more sense?

Although “Insanitarium” sounds like a New York City club.

Maybe I should go there…

Did you like this Thought? Sure did. No, I did not.
