Hypothecate

A word smart people use when they mean hypothecate, and a word stupid people who want to look smart (read: Investment Bankers) use when they mean hypothetical.

A classic marker of when you're talking to an idiot who doesn't know it yet; like when people say "pacifically" when they mean "specifically" or "expresso" when they mean "espresso".

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude.
