Get over it! Banished Words List

Periodically, I encounter a word that is, like, so last year. Finally, someone is willing to step up and collect those words that no longer need to be spoken with such frequency. You go girl! ;)

Lake Superior State University :: Banished Words List :: 2007

My favourite among them: "BOASTS -- See classified advertisements for houses, says Morris Conklin of Lisboa, Portugal, as in 'master bedroom boasts his-and-her fireplaces -- never 'bathroom apologizes for cracked linoleum,' or 'kitchen laments pathetic placement of electrical outlets.''"
