(Example of 1.) Despite being called "lead," pencil lead has no actual lead makeup, and is instead a mix of mostly graphite and clay. The phrase originates from a misunderstanding where graphite ore was mistaken for lead ore. (Being exposed to that much actual lead for your entire school life could kill you.)
(Example of 2.) *zooms in with binoculars* *begins wildlife documentary* The misnomers are hard at work right now, creating several definitions for the only John they know, even though there could be over a million Johns on Earth.
