Get the spark up a monkeymug. Duck tape is NOT a mispronounciation of duct tape. Duck tape is the original name of the tape from when it was first invented and used by the military. Only, when people started using duck tape to repair ducts, it got the name duct tape.
Duck tape sucks for repairing ducts because it falls off after a while. The officially recommended tape for repairing ducts is foil tape.
Duck tape is used in movies extremely often. A few examples:
- Panic Room
- American Pie: The Wedding
- Frailty

Get the shamebiguousmug. Something or someone that is not in its correct universe, dimension or cosmic location. Coined by Jennifer Diane Reitz to label errors in fantasy literature where people or things described are specific to Earth and ought not to exist in the fictional universe of the work.
These errors go beyond mere 'anatopism' (referring to something is in the wrong geographic location but at least on the correct planet). Also analogous to anachronism, where something is in the wrong time.

If a sci-fi novel set in the Andromeda galaxy used the months January to June, that would be an anacosmism because the Roman Empire and their calendar never existed in Andromeda.

Get the anacosmismmug. The act of accusing a pixel of being at fault for something that goes wrong on your computer screen (or possibly something that goes wrong elsewhere). The expression was first used in relation to playing the computer game Worms, because a single pixel on the terrain can sometimes affect whether you win or lose the round.
Every time Windows crashes, I blame the pixel.
Arnold Schwarzenegger became a governor?? I know the pixels are behind this!
