List of words that should be banished
Besides, "Tom, please stop posting", her is a list of words that should be banished.
Lake Superior State University :: Banished Words List :: Complete List |
Let's hear what words posters here want to have on the list, or have already made the list but are still grating on you.
These are some on the list that are still around, unfortunately: "It is what it is." (Translation: I don't want to say what I really think. Someone might be offended.) "Issues". (Example: The pitcher is having shoulder issues going into Game 7 of the World Series. Or, Bruce Jenner is having some gender issues.) "It's all good." :ohdear: |
How about "busted" as in: "His car was busted into".

Alexander Haig near top of list . . . kinda an old list.

Quote:
FOODIE Many nominations over the past several years. Is it a Michigan thing? "It's ridiculous. Do we call people who like wine 'winies' or beer lovers 'beeries'?" – Randall Chamberlain, Traverse City, Mich. "'Someone who enjoys food' applies to everyone on Earth. What's next? 'Oh, I'm an airie; I just love to breathe.' 'Could we do it at 11, instead? I'm kind of a sleepie.'" – Andy Poe, Marquette, Mich. "I crave good sleep, too, but that does not make me a sleepie. News flash: We ALL like food." – Graydeon DeCamp, Elk Rapids, Mich. "I've heard of cooks and chefs, and gourmets and gourmands, but what the heck is a 'foodie'? A person who likes food? A person who eats food? A person who knows what food is? Sounds like 'foodie' is a synonym for 'everybody.' Foodies around the world agree; let's banish this term." – Steve Szilagyi, Mason, Mich. |

When someone encounters ONE rude person in The Villages and says: "I thought this was supposed to be Florida's friendliest hometown". Other than that, it's all good. :evil6: |

OK... how about
"is a religion of peace" |
How about banning "..." Or "///" or any other series of symbols meaning "I just said something rude, mean, nasty, etc, and now you know I did, and it was probably aimed at your last post, but you'll never know what it is, but you will know it was bad."
|
How about all the typos. Are we all so busy we can't take the time to re-read our posts before pushing the "send" button?
|
I agree with many of the words/phrases. However, unique is a perfectly good word meaning one of a kind. What's wrong is "very unique," "kind of unique," "really unique" etc, etc.

whatever............
just saying.......... |

I think I will say it is sometimes effective and sometimes not. And No. I don't work for the developer. |

And bumping OVER an annoying post isn't nice either. |

/// and "..." |

CFrance, but, but, but what if someone gets up in a bad mood and posts something cranky :mornincoffee: and then they have a coffee and say: "Yikes, did I really say that" and they look for a delete button but it's disappeared! There is no delete button anymore. So they are really sorry they were cranky, and they reconsider. And to delete their post, they have to use 3 digits, could be ^^^ or *** or ### or ??? We all make mistakes. |

I always hated, "nothing," as a reply to, "what's wrong?" It should be banned from all vocabularies.
|
I think it just blows when some says .... sucks. :jester:

Whoops, sorry, I bet Sunnyatlast also hates the term "it works for me". :oops: |
How about 'HOOD' as in neighborhood? That one annoys the //// out of me.
|
I just left my classroom. Students use "alot" as if it's really a word, or as if it really SAYS anything. How much is a lot? One day when I'm bored I'll compile a list of things they say that make me want to run my fingernails down a chalkboard. Hmmm...too much coffee today?

You are all very funny! But I don't know what bumping over someone's post means either.
I think some people use /// or ... to passive aggressively imply that they just posted some nasty reply and then deleted it but still want you to know that they said something nasty. I'd rather they bring the delete button back. Otherwise, think twice, post once. That's myself story and I'm stickin' to it!:rant-rave::rant-rave::rant-rave: |

I don't think "hood" is a bad term. It's more descriptive and it's colloquial use defines an exact area. It tells you more than simply using the word neighborhood which doesn't tell you very much. A "neighborhood" could be anywhere. |

CF - I don't know what the means either. I hope GG will enlighten us. PS your last post was done twice. I think you thought once and posted twice. ::jester:: |
The word "moderation" pertaining to one's diet.
Do you think a person actually knows what a healthy diet is when they say, "just eat everything in moderation"?
It might mean that you can eat every junk-food item imaginable as long as you don't have it twice in one day. |

--- a good example of when someone might want to *** one of their duplicate posts. :girlneener: |
Everything in moderation
Everything in moderation, pertaining to life in general.
So if you're cheating on your spouse, it's okay as long as it's done moderately. If you get caught cheating, just say, "I only cheated four times this year. What's the big deal? A moderate bank robber might say, "I only robbed two banks last year and one this year." |

No offense intended but I would ban the above words and symbols. |

:girlneener::girlneener::girlneener: AND Boy Howdy. |

I hate this one so much it makes me sick to even share it but I can't pass up the chance to do so:
"Who peed in your cheerios?" |
