if the #2 pencil is the most popular pencil, then why is it still number 2?

are oranges called oranges because they are orange, or is the color orange named after oranges?

why is stuff on ships called cargo, but in a car, it's called a shipment?

Because the #2 on a pencil denotes the lead size, not the popularity.

Why do we call them shower thoughts if most of them are thought outside of the shower?
