My current gripe is people who misuse aphorisms and axioms. e.g. "That's like playing Russian Roulette with a loaded gun." Really? With a loaded gun? Never heard of that variety of Russian Roulette, how innovative.
Or, for those watching Survivor this season, Jean-Robert's use of "Do you believe in 'what goes around comes around'?" The phrase you were looking for was, "One good turn deserves another," buddy.
