My favourite thing is when taxonomists use the ultimate descriptor for some new species because I just know that one day they’re gonna find something that is more that one thing and it’s gonna be the colossal/giant squid problem all over again. Two thousand years of calling what is definitely the biggest squid ever “the giant squid” and then somebody finds a bigger one
