If you call a fish a "car" don't be surprised when people get confused and think that choice of name was ill-advised. Car is already in use, don't use car to describe a fish, it's not difficult. When a word has an accepted meaning, using that word to convey an entirely different meaning where you could easily choose something else is ridiculous. It is right to criticise anyone who does something so silly.
