Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why "abbreviated" is such a long word? Why doctors call what they do "practice"? And...

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons? Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
