I feel the same sort of way about chartreuse. Can we just switch them?

Chartreuse is literally named after the green French liquor.

It's my favorite alcohol, and the color is amazing.

I will not accept this blasphemy

Wait isn't chartreuse a board with cheese and meats?

You’re thinking of Chantilly. A chartreuse is a lady cartographer.

Ah, you're thinking of a chartess. Chartreuse is a long-neck avian fowl that's been burnt to a cinder

You're thinking cat lady. It's Charades.

Bar, charades is a game. You are thinking of charlatan.

A charlatan is a con-man, buddy. You're thinking of a Charmander.
