The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."
‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”
So a napkin is a little tablecloth.

Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

Going to get a whole lot of messages on my next podcast where I called Elasticsearch the first mainstream search engine 🙈
I know Solr came first but I feel like Elasticsearch made it cool.
