It's not like it doesn't happen... to go for an extreme example the English word "black" is actually derived from a slavic word for white. But nobody's arguing that "black" actually means white since that's what it originally meant.

So, if most people believed that a fish was actually called a "rock," you could basically get with the times or keep refering to it as a "fish" and just confuse people.
