When one sees something from too great a distance to make out all the details, one's brain takes what it can make out, compares it to similar objects it has seen, and makes a match based on which of the similar objects has the most apparent relevance.

When I notice a computer screen across the room with a web browser open to a flash game, and a title bar saying, "The B---t F---sh Games On The Internet," I read it as, "The Burnt Flesh Games On The Internet."

This is not the conclusion my brain should be drawing from the available data! There is an obviously better way to read the statement! Apparently I just think that burnt flesh is so relevant to life in general that it moots the obvious.
