The Banished Words List for 2004 has been announced. They are doing God's work in a demon haunted world.
Hardly looking 'metrosexual,' a 'shocked and awed' Lake Superior State University Word Banishment selection committee emerged from its spider hole with its annual List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness.Words and phrases now consigned to the outer darkness and/or stygian deep include but are not limited to:
METROSEXUAL
(And we were having such fun such fun with this one too.)
PLACE STAMP HERE
Ignore alien orders. And will the post office really not deliver the letter? Time for a test around April 15th.
COMPANION ANIMALS
At least the know they won't be on anybody's menu soon.
EMBEDDED JOURNALIST
I noticed this afternoon that MSNBC in its futile quest for cool, ratings and sheer survival is now using the phrase "Campaign Embeds." A hanging offense.
SMOKING GUN
The website gets a pass, but everyone else gets shot.
