Here's another well-known fave.

Wrestlers who are injured in storyline and needed to see a doctor immediately don't go to "hospital". Nah, WWE claims they go to a nearby, local "medical center" for examination. This is presumably some sort of private facility that doesn't house the same grunts asked to queue for merchandise and buy tickets.

"Hospital" sounds too everyday to Vince, whereas "medical center" (or "medical facility") has this dramatic air to it.
