I'll try a few. "lets break the ice!" comes from breaking the chill at a party with some words or actions.

"what's your handle?" is CB radio lingo dating back to the early 1970s, when the pop song "Convoy" brought this term for "what do you call yourself" into popular usage.

I studied German, and visited Germany. It's Por-sha, not Poor-shaw or Poorsssssh. It's Folksvagn, not Volkswagen. It's Bay Em Vay, not Bee Em Doubleya or Bimmer or Beemer.
