Why do they call them APARTments when they are so close together?
supposibly
anyways

I agree on the "midwest" thing. Here I am in Oklahoma (the cultural center of the universe), and the "midwest" is North and East of me???

Just for fun, what are some popular misnomers that you notice or ones that maybe irrationally upset you? Maybe something regional that is odd from your AO?
"Rakers" on chainsaw chains, they're called "depth gauges" as they do not perform a raking function.
Ed Do those chainsaw rakers gauge any depths? <20 post, my ass.....Dumbass...... Dickweed!!!!

Mid-west. Yes, Wyoming is approximately mid-west, that other chit is back east. Here you very rarely hear the term 'out east' but I'm told it's common in other parts of the country.

[quote=mauserand9mm]Thongs - everybody wears them down here
Thongs are for your feet not your ass.
Ever see a fat girl in a “thong”? I think that’s where “butt floss” term came from.
But really?........A fat girl in a thong is a sight to see.

"Anymore" It better be the last word in the sentence with the preceding language referring to past tense.
Example, I don't do that anymore.
"Went" This word can be used so incorrectly it causes brain gnash, making it difficult to provide an example. It's just so wrong is stops me cold.
Other than that, The substitution of "caliber" for the word "cartridge" is too common.

Take your pick......

Nothing worse than a good "Thats what I'm talkin 'bout" when nothing has even been spoken about.

Married to a retired English teacher with a bunch of degrees, I’d best watch my p’s & q’s. She yells at the TV when they say stuff like, “Drive save”. You can’t drive safe unless you are driving a safe, but you can drive safely. Same with buy local. Can’t do that either. You need to buy locally. We have a relative from Australia and the stuff she says doesn’t compute lots of times either. A f-ag is a cigarette, a torch is a flash light, a boot is the car’s trunk, the bonnet is the hood, a jumper is a jacket. And my favorite a cockwomble isn’t what us guys with the boxers have, it’s an ignorant person.
If I question some language item, I’ll get all the teacher explanation about it being an adjective modifying a verb, or a gerund or a dangling participle... For as many years as I spent in business, no one has ever asked me to diagram a sentence.
My other auto is a .45

To call many of the things mentioned in this thread "misnomers" is a misnomer.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Calling an ATV or a UTV a 'bike'. If you're going to 'ike' it, it's more correctly a quike.

Not a misnomer, but a common misuse. "If you have any questions, contact Bob or myself". How the hell can anyone contact myself? They can contact me, but not myself.
