Don't Say These Words

utterli-image

Lake Superior State University's annual list of banished words is out. The words on the list I am tired of hearing are:


CARBON FOOTPRINT - Especially since Al Gore has a big one.


MAVERICK - I've never heard someone called this so much, only to not act like one.


FIRST DUDE - Greta Van Susteren single handedly overused this word when Todd Palin went "On the Record"...oh it drove me nuts!


BAILOUT - Because now everybody wants one.


WALL STREET/MAIN STREET - The way things have been going, apparently we (the everyday folks) are now Wall Streets Main Street bank!


GAME CHANGER - Just as annoying as "at the end of the day"


STAYCATION - A silly word that the media tried to make trendy.


What are your thoughts on the banned words? Any you would add?

Ive been known to say "at the end of the day" but it's only when I am talking abouth the frustrations of being a stay at home mom. For instance, " At the end of the day, I am glad I made the choices I did, but in the middle of the day I want a drink".

Beyond that staycation is not only lame to say, but not the greatest vacation ever, which is why we are taking a roda trip this year ;) Too many staycations make the Thunders a dull family.
