...because the term has been banished from the English language: University 'banishes' words for 2013 - CNN.com Lake Superior State University :: Banished Words List :: The List The complete list of banished words: Fiscal cliff YOLO Kick the can down the road Job creator/creators Passion/passionate Superfood Boneless wings Trending Bucket list Spoiler alert Guru Double down "Wheelhouse", "skill set" and "I know, right" apparently almost made the list.
Way to get my hopes up Scantron--just kidding, but seriously, some of these don't even make sense. I will still say most of these whenever the hell I want.
I'm sure this is going to have the exact same effect as when the government tried changing the name of "french fries" to "freedom fries" because the French refused to help when the Iraq war broke out over a decade ago. Read: Nobody is going to give two shits about whether or not those words are in the English language, they'll still say them.
Some of those I can understand. "Superfood" for instance, was an arbitrary and pointless word to begin with. But PASSION? You don't just ban a word that's been in use since the freaking 13th century.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's completely fucking sick of this term. You're not the almighty "Job Creators™". You're a bunch of filthy rich CEOs trying to convince the world you should pay a smaller percentage of tax than everyone else, on a vast sum of money very few of us will ever see in our lifetimes. Fun fact: You'd look like less of douchebags if you came out and said, "I like my money and want to keep more of it." Ugh. Rant over. Carry on.
I see the it and I say.... I better double down and get some superfood boneless wings for my *spoiler alert* Spoiler bucket list , before the trending new English language word ban kicks in. I have passion for some of those words and I guess I'll have to go "Kick the idiot down the road" for 2013 now.
"YOLO" isn't even a word and half of these "banned words" contain more than one word. I got a perma-banned word for you: "Superior"
