There is also such a thing as subtlety and nuance. Words borrowed from physical objects do not need to have, and in general do not have exactly the same meaning when applied to software.
I would love to see a picture of your computer pulling itself up by the straps on its physical boots the next time you press reset. Bleeding when a process is "killed".
Even something as superficially similar to real-world behaviour a "queueing" is implmented in a very different way in software, for the most part.
