LOL! It really confused me for years that the same term is used for this building construction as for the growths around the necks of chickens, turkeys, vultures, etc.

As a kid, I was so innaccuate with an axe that when I tried to kill a chicken, I missed and cut through the wattles and left the voice box on the bird.  It got away from me and went squawking around the yard until it finally collapsed.
