I've literally heard over 5 people over a few months (professionals in their fields) say FLUSHED out when referring to ideas or concepts. It drives me insane. I blame TikTok! No i have no idea what is causing it. My SO has noticed it as well.

A friend of mine uses "generally" instead of "genuinely" and it requires all of my self control not to correct them every time.

    Same, except "weary" and "wary."

    I'm both weary and wary of people who confuse those words.
