It is annoying to hear people abuse difficult words to seem smarter or posher, but I almost banged my head at the wall when a high school graduate applying for a really difficult to get in college/university program asks what's "empirical". Ok, it's a loan word in Finnish, but c'mon...
What I get annoyed with is naming old foods with the latest cuisine trend term to make it sell better. In here, what use to be called a milkshake is usually uncorrectly called a smoothie or better yet, a lassi.
