A pancake house near me has "clam pancakes" on the menu. I have never had the courage to order it, even though I'm pretty sure clams don't make me hurl. (I have a fish/seafood allergy the extent of which is uncertain.) But I confess to a lingering morbid curiosity. Clam... pancakes. Clam. Pancakes. Those two words just don't seem to go together in my brain.
Another pair that took me a while to accept was the phrase "ground failure". Obviously they were talking about earthquakes, but not just shaking. I couldn't quite imagine what a "failure" of what you stand on would be. "Including liquefaction," the text continued. Ground... failure. Ground. Failure. I couldn't make that connection for the longest time.
