Rhymes with crap
There is a sign at a nearby Blimpie sandwich shop that irritates me every time I see it. It displays a picture of a milkshake/frozen concoction, and it reads:
Don't worry, be frappe.
Clearly, the person who came up with this ad campaign has never even heard of the product he or she is trying to pitch.

"Don't be a sap...have a frappe!"
"Drink a frappe if your mind's in a flap"
I'm sure I'll find a way to work this example into a course one of these days.
The verb frappé -- as in the blender setting -- is a two-syllable word and (almost) rhymes with happy.
As the late Richard Jeni said in The Mask: "Forget her, Stanley... that girl will tear your heart out, put it in a blender and hit frappé."
But yeah, the noun version is a single syllable.
Heeheehee.
Ugh. Just, ugh.
LOL!
I know it's a bit (very) anal of me, but I HATE those Applebee's "Eatin' GOOD in the neighborhood" commercials. Yeah, I know it rhymes, but based on the shit they serve, the slogan could just as easily be "Eatin' WELL in the Third Tier of Hell."
