I think the airline industry is the gift that keeps on giving. At the beginning, they can't just say "We'd like to pre-board the handicapped." Nope, its "We would like to preboard passengers in need of special assistance who may require extra time getting settled in." This big, long sentence for one word, handicapped.
But the good news is that airplanes never go through turbulence anymore, they go through "unexpected cabin movement." And in the in-flight announcements, the flight crew can never call the airplane an "airplane." It's always "our aircraft." Because that sounds more technical and important than the word airplane.
