There are a lot of common sayings and words that I see used improperly more often than properly. Ever sense Jim pointed out decimates meaning and misuse, I haven't stopped seeing people misuse it.

Are we discussing rhetoric or taxonomy? Everything shares something with other things. Obviously you have never went to war on the internet with any group who keep a book full of fallacies and rhetorical devices at hand to slap down the unwary adversary in a particularly tasty argument.
In a more practical sense if you spouse requested apples from the grocery for an apple pie and you brought home oranges, I suspect she would doubt your vision and your good judgement. For the purposes of apple pie baking they aren't comparable at all.

Yeah, but pigs are smart. How about a cockroach? The world can always use fewer of them...

The whole thing with a sacrifice is that you share the meat. I do not eat cockroaches.

I thought usually when there is sacrifice the carcass is tossed in the fire and burned for the god to whom it is being offered..
What you describe is simple butchering...
