2008 Banished Words (and Phrases) List
Culture, EducationLake Superior State University Banished Words List has entered its fourth decade of existence, and there you will find 2008′s banished words list. Here’s a quick description from their site:
This year’s list derives from more than 2,000 nominations received through the university’s website, www.lssu.edu/banished. Word-watchers target pet peeves from everyday speech, as well as from the news, education, technology, advertising, politics, sports and more. A committee makes a final cut in late December. The list is released on New Year’s Day.
The list makes me chuckle.
Happy New Year everyone.
