Figures of Speech That Should Disappear Forever

Most people who use the term "In Like Flynn" don't realize that it was originally meant as a sexual connotation from the actor Errol Flynn's exploits with women. People heard the term, felt it was catchy without realizing it's underlying meaning and it became very popularized.
 
It's not even a word but 'FINNA'. 'I was finna to fix me somethin' to grub'. :facepalm:
That's one of those words that seems like it was intended to catch on. Like they were forcing it into the lexicon.

Same with "Do me a solid."
