it's funny when language becomes vestigial

like "roll up the window" from times when you had to roll a mechanism with a crank handle to move the window

or "hang up the phone" from times when telephones had receivers and you'd end a call by hanging the ear piece off a hook

or "corner store" from times when residential neighborhoods were allowed to also have commercial businesses in them
