[ "Hypothecate" ]
1: A word smart people use when they mean hypothecate, and a word stupid people who want to look smart (read: Investment Bankers) use when they mean hypothetical.
A classic marker of when you're talking to an idiot who doesn't know it yet; like when people say "pacifically" when they mean "specifically" or "expresso" when they mean "espresso".

* e.g., ... Investment Banker: “Can you give me some hypothecated numbers?”
