Does your soap have a "Red Swan", a s/l or phrase or character that makes you groan?

The two that get me are words that were repeated over and over in scripts, but used incorrectly.

1.  GH - In 1999 Katherine Bell was pushed from the parapet, and throughout the plot they kept referring to a parapet but showing something else that looked like a balcony.  This is a parapet. It is a roofline that is notched so that an army can defend a castle against intrusions. Even if Katherine was on the roof, one wouldn't refer to her as being pushed from the parapet because that is just the ornamental embellishment.  I guess one could be pushed through a parapet, but not from a parapet.

2.  On Y&R in 2007 Brad Carlton was caught up in a story about a stolen reliquary.  This is a reliquary which is a container for relics

but, given his Jewish heritage they may have actually been referring to an ark, which is where the torah is stored in a temple, yet it would be much more difficult to steal because they are usually huge (clearly written by someone who had never been inside a synagogue).  Also of note, Indiana Jones was probably looking for raiders of a lost reliquary not a lost ark.

Y&R used to constantly have this annoying phone ring... doo-day-do.  As a child this espescially irritated me.
