I guess they don’t want people using “Epic Fail” when talking about Obama.

I grew up in Michigan and never heard of that University.

As for the university, that schmuck from Los Angeles and the rest who want to banish the words to quote the Fonz; “Sit on it!”

I wish they would incorporate the word “incorporate”
into the list of overused and should be banished words.

“Let’s do this”. “Sounds like a plan”.

This is like the third posting of this.

Why are so many Palinisms on the list? Hmm. Someone’s got a pole stuck up and not the North Pole.

Every year the media morons overuse and hyperbolize some clever, catchy phrases; then, at the end of the year, the same morons declare the phrases verboten.

Wow, talk about creative journalism.

“Looking to ...” confuses “hope” and “expect.”

"This linguistic disease of a term must be quarantined," Kuahmel Allah of Los Angeles said in making a nomination.

How nice of him to lecture US on OUR language.

That said, among the most overused and incorrectly used words and phrases are...

"guys" meaning people.

and "further" meaning farther.

Overused phrase: “Let me be clear”

Overused phrase that was eliminated at the end of 2010:

“Speaker Pelosi”

They can't drop Epic Fail! It's the Federal Government's official policy!


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I’d like to banish the terms ‘social justice’, ‘how’s that working out for you’, and ‘kick it up a notch’, as well as ‘pop’ when used by interior decorators.
