Banished Word List 2004 (For Mis-Use, Over-Use and General
Uselessness)
http://www.lssu.edu/banished/archive/2004.php
The annual list of words which should be banished from use from
Lake Superior State University is a favorite of many. The 2004
List has been released and contains selections which have
unceasingly annoyed sensitive minds over the past year.
"LSSU has been compiling the list since 1976, choosing from
nominations sent from around the world. This year, words and
phrases were pulled from more than 5,000 nominations - a record.
... Word-watchers pull nominations throughout the year from
everyday speech, as well as from the news, fields of education,
technology, advertising, politics, and more. A committee gathers
the entries and chooses the best in December." - from the website
For an amusing stroll through past egregious word use, the
website also provides the complete compilation of all banished
words in alphabetical order since the list's inception with the
date of its inclusion and the background on each word.
