People who use literally often don't know what it means. for example, "Trump is literally Hitler."

Fitment. It isn't even a word. Something fits or it doesn't. Used way too much in automobiles and guns.

Yes, it's a word, but it's always used improperly, particularly on gun boards where people use it as a fancy way of saying "nicely machined" such as, "this 1911 has the tightest slide to frame fitment I've ever seen."

Definition is:

fitment (ˈfɪtmənt)
n
1. (Mechanical Engineering) machinery an accessory attached to an assembly of parts
2. (Furniture) chiefly Brit a detachable part of the furnishings of a room

This is a particular peeve of Para who has ranted about it in the past, even starting a thread to try to encourage proper use and eliminate the habit of misuse on this board.

It does NOT mean "tight", "finely machined", "nicely finished", "smooth action", "beautiful stock", etc.



"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

Thanks Q; I missed that one. Apparently it's a pet peeve of a lot of people around here.

(That little fact doesn't seem to limit is use, however...)

Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

Disrupt.

When used instead of change. Hopefully this goes away after 2018.

Racist: used so often, it means little to me. So tired of its use.

It is a word, but it is usually used incorrectly.
