... "Remember me to your sister when you see her." Which basically means tell her that I remember her and send greetings. Most dictionaries list this definition down near the bottom of the list, but it is rarely heard in most parts of the English speaking world.

Many years ago, I worked for a school principal who fancied himself to be quite an intellectual.
However, he frequently referred to certain statements as being, "a mute point".
Luckily for him, most of the people who heard him use this expression did not know the difference.
Another one of his...unique...utterances was, "That is a Fiat Accompli."
I told some of the other faculty members that he had been referring to a small Italian-made car equipped with all of the available options.
I was just reading a thread where a poster asking about real estate kept writing "realitor." Not just a typo, it was every time. I don't claim to be perfect, but there are some things that just grate on one's nerves.
That's probably because so many people pronounce it that way, even realtors themselves. Same thing with nuclear, when people pronounce it "nucular". My tongue bleeds sometimes for all the times I have to bite it.
Which reminds of another thing that really ticks me off. They actually trademarked the word "Realtor" so it has to be capitalized. I refuse to do it. It's ridiculous that someone can take an ordinary word and trademark it.

There was no such word until the organization "invented" it. So, I think they may a case.
