I heard 'boo-ey' all over the country, unfortunately. And it is

The brilliant thing about "burglarize" is how they then backfilled
the language to justify it.

You're not burgled, you're "burglarized".
You don't catch a burglar, you catch a "burglarizer".
You're not locked up for burglary, but "burglarization".

At its most fundamental, even 'Transportation', as in 'Department of',
is a symptom of this. And I hear that over here now, too.

"would sir require transportating to his destination?"

"Take to the department of transportatingation"

lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
