Like "does the Pope shit in the woods?" or "that train has sailed?"

Also, what good examples can you think of?

"dry cleaning" is a specific term for a method of laundering clothes that DOES require a liquid, but not soaking the clothes in water.

Those things you mentioned are not counter examples, because they have nothing to do with "dry cleaning".

That's like if I point out that peanuts aren't actually nuts, and you respond with "but walnuts are nuts!"

Yeah, walnuts are nuts, but that doesn't have anything to do with peanuts and whether or not they are nuts.
