when the annual Banished Words List is announced:

SHOVEL-READY

TRANSPARENT/TRANSPARENCY

CZAR

TWEET

APP

SEXTING

FRIEND AS A VERB

TEACHABLE MOMENT

IN THESE ECONOMIC TIMES….

STIMULUS

TOXIC ASSETS

TOO BIG TO FAIL

BROMANCE

CHILLAXIN'

OBAMA-prefix or roots?


One I absolutely hate is "truthiness." It's like the user has OD'd on Stephen Colbert and is incapable of using the more acceptable word "truthfulness." It was on the list in 2007, but it should be in some kind of "Hall of Shame." It's a shit word.
