    My old store manager would use the word “preface” to mean that he agreed with something. He didn’t say it in a weird way, I think he just didn’t know what it meant.

    If you said something he liked he’d say “I’d like to preface that statement” and no one ever corrected him

      Knew a guy that thought using “vis à vis” whenever he could made him sound smarter, but he said it with a weird stress on the first syllable and rushed it all together, so everyone referred to him as “Visa-vee” in passing behind his back
