8. 'Deplane'

As a former English teacher, hearing this made-up word is more grating than the call bell ding.
People don’t "decar" or "detrain," yet we are now "deplaning" passengers in droves.
While the term "disembark" is sufficient, I’ve given in and started using the current lingo.
So, when you hear "deplane," it just means it’s time to remove yourself from the aircraft. Quickly please!
