Why is saw dust called saw dust when it is wood. Shouldn't it be called wood dust?

Why do they call it a "near miss" when two vehicles avoid collision? Isn't a near miss actually a hit?

Years ago was reading some instructions for a computer problem and it said (honestly) -

"take one step forward backwards" - that's when I gave up on learning anything about them.
