Stuff I remember thinking about when I was little

So has anyone ever wondered why we call words what we call them? Like, why do we call our hair hair, who came up with the word hair and decided to call the stuff on our head that? Why didn’t they call it swoogerwoofer or some weird thing like that? For another thing, why do we call words words? Like, what if we called words appendix or something? 

“I can’t come to school tomorrow because I’m getting my word removed”

“What’s the appendix for *insert vague explanation for something here*”

No, just me? Ok I’ll just show myself out...
