OMS wings (backmount BC). Who knows why they are made like they are - all
that hose stuff wrapped around them. According to the WKPP crowd, any store
owner selling one should be tied up with the hosing recovered from the (soon
to be) victim, and thrown into the depths.

Nitrox 80 (80% oxygen, 20% nitrogen).
Proponents (used to) argue that it is useful as a decompression gas over
100% oxygen, because it can be used at 30 fsw stop. Straight O2 is limited
to 20 fsw.
See http://www.cisatlantic.com/trimix/diving.html#why no use 80/20 for a
list of reasons why it is bad.
The former proponents of 80/20 no longer argue for it (in this forum at
least), because fanatical Hogarthians chased them away.
