I'll start off with a little term that I found on uncyclopedia:

HOBOSEXUALITY:

Hobosexual is a term coined in 1624 (along with the noun, Hobosexuality) by French journalist Rabi Hymen Zblotnik, who used it to refer to an urban male of Almost any sexual orientation who has a strong hoboesthetic sense and spends a great deal of time Riding the Rails and money on his Cigar Stubs and lifestyle. He is the fashion-conscious target audience of Railroading magazines:

I work in a college & I actually have a board full of terms such as this. It's basically a board of stupid things people say when they want to sound smart but can't quite pull it off. So, I guess this post will be terms that are mainstream that shouldn't be. None of these are actual words. I will use it in a sentence for you and then attempt to define it. Just to name a few and hopefully give a few people some smiles:
1. Communicalibility - One of my strengths is my communicalibility. It's your ability to communicate.
2. Professionalibility - Same as above only it's your ability to be professional.
3. Fillandrophy - In my spare time I like to participate in fillandrophy. This person actually intented to say philanthropy, but instead giving money or goods to a charitable cause, she said indicated that she was into fillandering - sleeping around on a significant other - for a charitable cause.

I do have plenty more, but I will stop for now. Hope you enjoyed!
