* A common German reply (less common in recent years but prevalent in the 1980s) to Shlubb and Klump expressions would have been: \\\"That sentence would make any Japanese samowar commit Kalahari.\\\"[[note]]Samowar being a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samovar samovar]], a kind of Russian tea item, and Kalahari meaning the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa, [[DontExplainTheJoke the joke being]]...well...\\\"Samurai\\\" and \\\"hara-kiri\\\" aka {{seppuku}}.[[/note]]
\\\'\\\'\\\'That\\\'s using similar words where you do know the meaning of them.\\\'\\\'\\\'
* Check out [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1284254/Britain-declares-war-words-snuck-skedule-.html this article]]: It\\\'s about a bunch of pompous Britons criticizing \\\"Americanisms\\\", despite the fact that what they declare \\\"wrong\\\" is either not objectively worse, or in fact objectively better, than what they declare as being \\\"correct\\\".

--> The choice of contacting you aroused from the geographical nature of where you live particularly due to the sensitivity of the transaction and the confidentiality herein. Now our company has been waiting for any of the relatives to come-up for the claim of the inheritance fund but unfortunately all efforts has being void. I personally have been unsuccessful in locating neither the relatives nor any next of kin to Mr. Saba. On this regards, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin / will beneficiary to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at Eighty Five Million Dollars($85M) can be paid to you.
\\\'\\\'\\\'Just grammatically incorrect. It\\\'s not about word use.\\\'\\\'\\\'
* {{Otep}}\\\'s lead singer once did an interview where she claimed to be \\\"the agog of the alchemist\\\" - agog being an adjective meaning \\\"full of interest or excitement; eager\\\". \\\'\\\'Oops...\\\'\\\'
\\\'\\\'\\\'Singular example.\\\'\\\'\\\'
* SarahPalin\\\'s infinite use of \\\"refudiate\\\".
\\\'\\\'\\\'More like YouKeepUsingThatWord. Also a singular word.\\\'\\\'\\\'
