tailgate
Okay, this is a silly little item but still one that I find irritating. An increasing number of people seem to believe that the word 'tailgate' is a verb rather than a noun. I've been behind countless vehicles, such as school busses, that have a sign painted on the back of them that reads, "DO NOT TAILGATE." Hey, as far as I'm concerned a 'tailgate' is still a 'thing,' not a thing that you 'do.'
