I'll socialise you!
For my sins, I work for a large multinational in Ireland. One thing that has really started to grate on me lately is the way language is used around the place.

Revert, as in:
"When you have finished reviewing the document, please revert"
Socialise, used in a meeting if key decision makers are absent:
"We'll go ahead with decision A and socialise it after the meeting"
Arghhh, somebody make the madness stop!
Any other examples readers?
