Amber Heard Word

A word that you use interchangeably with another word that has a different meaning despite knowing the difference.

Example 1:
Person 1: "I donated that money"
Person 2: "did you pay either of those charities?"
Person 1: "not yet"
Person 2: "then you haven’t donated the money, you only pledged it"
Person 1: I use pledge and donate synonymously"
Person 2: "well I don’t use them synonymously…this is one day going to be called an Amber Heard Word"

Example 2:

Person 1: "Hey did you check out the Sears sale going on?"
Person 2: "you know that’s a bed bath & beyond right?"
Person 1: "yeah but I just call it sears"
Person 2: "I guess that’s your Amber Heard Word"

heard between the words

Not unlike read between the lines, but it is what is verbally implied. It's typically important but sensitive.

Darry: Hey! Have you heard about Jessie?"
Danica: "Word! She's in a mess!"
Darry: "I heard between the words that Larry in on point."
Danica: "Oh my lovin' Lord! Stay away!!!!"
