As we start a new year, how about we get rid of a few words that are a tad bit annoying and quite honestly…useless! Lake Superior State University has revealed their 42nd annual list of words that should be banished. From their website they explain the need to cleanse…”Overused words and phrases are a ‘bête noire’ for thousands of users of the ‘manicured’ Queen’s English,” said an LSSU spokesperson, who released the ‘historic’ list during a town hall meeting. “We hope our modest ‘listicle’ will figure ‘bigly’ in most ‘echo chambers’ around the world.”
Dadbod – a word that has basically given men a reason to take pride in their loves handles and give up.
Guesstimate – sadly you’re probably like me and have used this word way too often, when in reality you could use either ‘guess’ or ‘estimate’.
