Post your suggestions. I'll start....

"Preparation H" sounds like a tax form, but is really a medical ointment. Either way, it's a pain in the ass.

My all time favorite is a single word, not a phrase:

"Inflammable"

It doesn't matter that I know that it means exactly the opposite of what it should mean according to all the other rules of grammar...it still pisses me off.
