Something that makes you annoyed as hell when it really shouldn't, or something that makes you feel like a 
for getting annoyed at it.
I'll start with a combination of the two: When people call chiptune music "bitcrunch"

lol me and your partner have that in common. "Band-aid," "Kleenex," and all others like it get under my skin.
You aren't thinking big picture. When brand names just become product names, the brand name loses its power. Defile all brands!
Medical adhesive tape?
bandage
Here, that would mean long strips that you wrap around something. Bandaids are the little ones with the sticky bit.
No one says Kleenex for tissue here though. Or hoover for vacuum cleaner.
Tupperware gets used for multi-use food safe box with a lid.
Trying to think of others, nothing feels quite as extreme as South USs "coke" for fizzy sweet drink
no way. hoover is a brand?? don't call a vaccuum hoover but ive heard hoover as a verb for sucking up. wack
I think the one that peeves me a little is "D&D" for "RPG". Please play a different RPG
oh that won't necessarily fix anything. my friends also refer to our call of cthulhu and paranoia games as "playing dnd" - it really has started to mean any rpg in the same way that "photoshop" just means any photo editing
Hoover for 'vacuum cleaner' is where i draw the line. that's pure fuckery
See but asking for a bandaid implies more information. I ask for a bandaid and you know it's not too serious, but asking for a bandage may be a paper cut or it may be a large laceration. I think this one is useful.
