I use 'petit mots' to refer to trite cliches about precious albeit, misleading fads. A favourite example is that owners of Rolls-Royce cars will report that their car 'failed to proceed' when in fact it had broken down! There are a number of examples in this genre that are cultivated to generate a snobby image of the owners and sadly their car!
