A list that I look forward to every year.

Which banished word are you most happy about seeing on this year's list? I'm happy to see "my bad" (ugh!) make it to the list.

Which word(s) do you wish were on the list?

Some words should never be forgotten. Some words should be banished, or at least suffer a moratorium, due to misuse, overuse, and general uselessness. I appreciate both Malcolm Guite’s and Lake Superior State University’s sensitivity to appropriate word-forgetting and salvation from word-forgetting.

NPI guest contributor Erin Jones says the word has acquired deeply negative connotations after years of use as a pejorative insult. (NPI nominated "woke" for banishment five years ago, as 2018 began.)

In Brief

A #BanishedWords list is absolute clickbait, and I would say shame on #NPR for publishing this, but it amused me at least that they classified this under "strange news" 😆

An inflection point for GOATs: Please quiet quit these 'banished words' moving forward

In their annual "Banished Words" list, the faculty of Lake Superior State University also suggest removing from your vocabulary overused phrases like "does that make sense?" and "it is what it is."
