It's funny when they get it wrong, though.
An old boss of mine used the nonsense phrase "touch base" as a verb. "Hi ShinyShiny, can we touch base?" is hateful, but "Hi ShinyShiny, have you scribed(!) up the notes from when we touchbased ast week?" is just funny.

The same guy once sat in a meeting with Plc board level customers and talked for two hours, with a straight face, about how to improve the customer's monthly Drive Brand promotions. Hateful, I know. However, this muppet spent the whole meeting calling them "Dry Bands", like some sort of building material/tampon. So his was the only straight face in the room (the others were either scowling or trying not to laugh).
