>>Northern Michigan’s Lake Superior State University on Sunday released its 43rd annual List of Words Banished from the Queen’s English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness. The tongue-in-cheek, non-binding list of 14 words or phrases comes from thousands of suggestions to the Sault Ste. Marie school.

When activists at the CDC fraudulently claimed that Donald Trump was banning words, the Left called him Hitleresque.

So what about these turds in colleges who take glee in making up lists of words to be banned?

“nothingburger”.

If you think you see that a lot here on Free Republic, think how often you must see that on liberal websites where they have been getting nothing except for disappointment after disappointment the family joint

I nominate “intersectionality” to be banned.

Here is the definition of intersectionality:
Intersectionality is a theory that considers that various human aspects, such as class, race, sexual orientation and gender, do not exist isolated and separated from each other, but have complex, influential and interwoven relationships, and those relationships are essential to understanding of the human condition.

What it really really means is this:
We are going to bore you to death while we steal from you.

I think the most overused word is so. It is the new like.

Like So, let me explain this...

Like So, here's what's important...

etc, ad nauseum.

Drives me crazy. People have forgotten how to speak English. Or, maybe they never learned in the first place.

One expression so over used since 2008, and one I have threatened people with extreme violence for using: kick the can down the road.

One more thing to thank the Kenyan bastage for.

Words banned for the new year? ‘Fake news’ gets top vote

And of course, AP changes the headline again. They just cannot leave well enough alone.
