Banned Words (overused in 2013)
« on: December 31, 2013, 09:24:08 AM »
DETROIT — "Selfie" was named word of the year by Oxford Dictionary, but isn't getting any love from Michigan's Lake Superior State University.

The word that became popular to describe taking a picture of yourself with a smartphone was the runaway winner in Lake Superior State University's 39th annual list of words people wish would just go away.

•   This year's list of seven words came from more than 2,000 nominations
•   Editors consider pet peeves from everyday speech, the news, education, technology, politics

Here are others on the list:
• Twerk/Twerking
• Hashtag
• Twittersphere
• Any word ending in -ageddon
• Obamacare
• Fan base


Here are my suggestions for the list:

Newbie
Storage Wars
Duck Dynasty
Awesome
