I enjoy inventing them because it's fun, but then people think I'm trying to hide that I'm languagologically challenged so I try not to use them very often.

one year passes...

Here is one I am really NOT enjoying right now: use of "servicing" to describe, like, customer service.

Am I alone/weird in being bothered by that? To me "servicing" is like (a) repair or maintenance on machines, appliances, vehicles, etc., or (b) sexual.

So if a company says they enjoy servicing their clients, I tend to imagine them welding up the Tin Man and then going down on him for a while.
