Random Questions

1.Why is a backpack also called a knapsack? I mean you don't nap with it, or if you do then you nap with it on a long bus ride. But come on the name is really weird!
2.Why is the bathroom called a bathroom when most of the time there is not even a bath tub or shower in there? In addition to that, why is it called a restroom when you don't really rest in there to get more energy. These are also bizarre: water closet, powder room, lavatory, and out house. the only one that makes some sense is washroom because you wash your hands in there, so... it sort of makes sense. Sort of!
3. Why do we call soccer soccer when we don't even play with our socks? Geez, is it really that hard. I mean, the Europeans got it right and it made sense. Fotbal, it is played with our foot.

Just saying, we have some really weird named things.
If you have answers, please, and I mean PLEASE, send them in.
