One word that I find is often used in the wrong context is the word "Psychic".
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edgar Cayce (1877 – 1945) was one of the best-known American psychics of the 20th century and made many highly publicized predictions.In popular culture the word psychic (pronounced /ˈsaɪkɨk/; from the Greek psychikos - "of the soul, mental") refers to the ability to perceive things hidden from the senses through means of extra-sensory perception.
Many people however appear to use it in the context of someone being eccentric, or weird.
