This isn't really a "Mis-used phrase or expression" but it's kind of still on topic about language/attitudes that are slipping in more theses days...
Cold callers/salesman have started opening the conversation like they're your best mate. I despise it.
*Phone Rings*
Me - Hello...?
Voice - "Hiya old buddy old chum, how are you today my good friend?"
Me - Fine thanks...?
Voice - "Good stuff... you all ready for Christmas? How about his weather we're having eh?! Do anything interesting last night? What colour underwear did you opt for this morning old buddy old chum?"
Me - Do I know you...?
Voice - "No, I'm Peter... I'm just calling to see if I can save you money on your [whatever]?"
Me - No you can't Peter. P[ii[/iss off.
I don't know who on Earth has decided that's a good marketing technique but it doesn't work on me.

An article of clothing you can eat if you get hungry ![]()
The obvious problem there being the suggestion that eating celery is an adequate response to any feelings of hunger!
