Which reminds me of something I read today...
"Words Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness"
- '"Metrosexual" is at the top of an annual list of overused words'
- 'Also on the list was "bling-bling,"'
- 'Similarly banned was "shock and awe,"'
- '"LOL," the e-mail designation that means "laughing out loud," also has a place on the list.'
- 'Past words that have made the list include "chad" (2001), "paradigm" (1994), "baby boomers" (1989) and "detente" (1976).' |
