I had heard of (and even eaten a few times) calamari as a kid. Later when I heard of the Kalahari desert, the words "calamari" and "Kalahari" ran together for me until I heard of calamari again as a grown-up. It was only then that I realized that calamari was squid, and not some cretaure from the Kalahari Desert.
