I suppose one could stretch the definition of “common expression” to include “Dial 800-867-5309.”

When did the word “downfall” start to get confused with the word “pitfall” or “drawback?” Are people combining “downside” with “pitfall” to come up with “downfall,” which means something much more dramatic? This is almost as annoying as when people confuse “lose” with “loose.”
