Why is it leaving your feet, and not leaving the ice?

Too many times when I've seen hits where a players skate might have come off the ice before the hit, the announcers, and people here say "he left his feet". Sorry, but his feet are still connected at the same part of the body as it was before. Why doesn't everyone call it the way it really is, leaving the ice to make the hit?

They call corn-on-the-cob "corn-on-the-cob," right? But that's how it comes out of the ground. They should call that "corn." They should call every other version "corn-off-the-cob." It's not like if you cut off my arm you would call my arm "Mitch," but then reattach it and call it "Mitch All Together."

Two trains depart at their stations at noon. If train A is 100 miles away from train B and going at 90 mph due west and train B is going at 25 mph due south, is Joe Thornton a playoff choker?
