Why are some chickens called "Fryers"?

This has been on my mind since 1993.

Alton Brown said the medium-sized birds were ideal for frying or broiling because they had the ideal weight-to-surface area ratio. I remember there was one "Good Eats" where he compared a fryer to a large stewing/roasting hen and a Cornish Hen.

"although the name suggests a frying chicken, you can cook fryers in the same fashion as any chicken"....
WTF. If thats so, why do they call it a fryer.
Secondly: "any chicken, such as a hen, can be fried just like a fryer". WTF again. If thats so, all chickens would be a fryer?

It's apparently based on the size and age of the bird.

The wind got so bad so fast, I thought there was a tornado coming for a second. shite was flying everywhere. It then rained for about 30 minutes. Very nice. The temperature dropped immediately too.
