Abdicating advocacy
My favorite malapropism at this moment comes from a recent personal tussle with a manufacturer. Long story short: Said manufacturer’s product Did Not Work; said manufacturer offered multiple troubleshooting suggestions but declined to replace the product; yours truly fumed via both email and telephone until the customer service rep finally caved in, refusing to acknowledge that the product Did Not Work, but offering to replace it with a different model, because he was, as he phrased it so exquisitely in an email, a “customer abdicate.”

I have an avid avocation for abdication advocacy. Does that make me a bad person? (I can’t tell. Is that a double positive somehow adding up to a negative? Must diagram this sentence….)
