I love that!
There was an ad campaign for some skin cream or other which referred to the ease with which it was 'adsorbed' - until someone pointed out that 'adsorb' is not a posh scientific way of saying 'absorb'but means 'To accumulate on a surface' - exactly the opposite and exactly what you don't want in a moisturizer.
