10 Commonly Misused Words You’ve Been Saying Wrong
There’s a tidy list of commonly misused words that get butchered in casual conversation every day — “conversate” being exhibit A, but it gets worse from there.
Chris and Dex run through ten of them and clear up what they actually mean, so you can stop saying them wrong with confidence and quietly fix the people around you doing the same. It’s a comedy bit and a vocabulary lesson rolled into one short clip.
What gets corrected
- “Conversate” isn’t a word, “ironic” doesn’t mean coincidence, and “peruse” actually means to review carefully — not to skim it.
- “Bemused” means confused (not amused), “compel” is to force someone, and “nauseous” means causing nausea — not feeling it yourself.
- “Redundant,” “terrific” (which technically means causing terror), and a few more vocabulary land mines the brothers can’t let slide on the family group chat.
Watch it once and you’ll never let “conversate” slide again — yours or anybody else’s. It’s the kind of thing you don’t un-hear.
Hit play below and start quietly fixing your group chat’s vocabulary, one word at a time. The brothers will do most of the heavy lifting — you just have to listen and stop saying “bemused” wrong.
