SAULT STE. MARIE, MI -- If you think it would be “amazing” to “occupy” a “man cave” over the weekend, you may want to reconsider.
Lake Superior State University released its 37th annual List of Words Banished for misuse, overuse and general uselessness.
Here is this year’s list of banned words/phrases:
Amazing
Baby Bump
Shared Sacrifice
Occupy
Blowback
Man Cave
The New Normal
Pet Parent
Win the Future
Trickeration
Ginormous
Thank You in Advance
Former LSSU Public Relations Director Bill Rabe and friends created “word banishment” in 1975. Since then, LSSU has received tens of thousands of nominations for the list, which includes words and phrases from marketing, media, education, politics, technology and more.
Feel free to leave your “word ban” recommendations below! Thank you in advance!
