LSSU Banished Words 2007

The annual list of words/phrases that have been so over-used so badly in 2006 that they've become annoyances..

don't most movie ads say either just "now playing" or "now playing in theaters near you"?

heh and I REFUSE to stop overusing the word "awesome". :tongue:

 

But I like saying "pwn" . ;_;

 

That's pretty good list overall, can see their point in most cases. 'We're pregnant' has been bugging me all year too.

 

I still say pwn. =3 It's like almost as common in my online speech as the cat head I keep using.

 

"It's so annoying, idiotic and so lame and pathetic that it's 'lamethetic.'" -- Ed of Centreville, Virginia.

this made me laugh, thanks for the post

I thought that this year's list was a bit on the weak side, but figured it worth a mention.

The misuse/overuse that bugs me most is "this begs the question...," and then they go on to actually ask a question. "Begs the question" is the name of a logical fallacy, and has nothing to do with asking a question. But for the life of me I can't figure out how it got that name...

 

sadly enough i have used 'truthiness' and 'pwned' in many of my conversations.

and i'm applying to LSSU next year.
