Someone in a school I worked in changed from saying 'specific' to 'pacific' just because the deputy head said it that way.
Somewhat related: someone at my work started saying the word "metapoint" a while back in some meetings and now a bunch of people are constantly slipping the word into their regular speech. I personally find this particularly confusing considering that metapoint is not a real word and I have no idea how so many people managed to incorporate it into their vocabulary nor what this word means to each of them.
Metapoint: a point that is everywhere all at once.
