How about when people say:
"Can you borrow me something" or "I'll borrow you my car if you borrow me your truck"
First time I've heard that usage. [/b][/quote]
I hear it all the time, nearly every day... When they mix up the words loan/lend with borrow...

Such as "I'll borrow you my car" should read "I'll lend/loan you my car"

Consider yourself lucky that you never heard it before.
