Please make your question more specific.  I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you want to know.  Sorry.(:^)) Huh?

Hi,
Do you have some special kind of misuse in mind, that would not be covered by simply saying, for example, 'an inappropriate choice of words'?

I wonder if you are thinking of something like a 'malapropism'?

Can you provide an example of some kind?

Best wishes, Clive
