Hi RodolfoC
We've discussed this topic before so you may not get many responses.
A red herring is something that distracts your attention from the real issue, so it is safe to assume that a red-herring word is a word that does just that.
Did you read this anywhere in particular? Perhaps with a bit more context, we could tell you how it applied to your situation.
