People say "deceptively quick" when they mean "surprisingly quick."

Deceptively is a word beloved of estate agents in their descriptions of properties which they describe as being deceptively large/small when they mean the opposite!

"Reduce down" is worse imo

I remember being in a pub one Sunday morning (before official opening time) a long time ago and the barman shouted out "will someone highern down that jukebox"!

Anyone notice that politicians all seem to copy each other in their choice of words?
"Discommoded" was in every feckin speech for about 6 months last year.

It's got to do with the influence Irish has on the way we speak english, In Irish you'd say "An Nollaig", one of my colleagues has just said that someone has been sick "with weeks" that's another example.

It bothers me.
