I used to believe that Buffalo wings were actually the legs of a buffalo, and they were just called wings to make them sound cool. The "drumsticks" did look a lot like chicken legs. When I realized they were actually chicken wings and Buffalo was a city, I still thought that drumsticks referred to the legs instead.
