Words banned for 2010

[Jimbeaux]

These are a good start but I can think of many more. I appreciate the language's ability to be adapted to what is required for the moment, but enough is enough:

I want to add "The Naughties" to that list.

Shut the fk up!

[Evangelion]

What about "I was like"?

There is already a perfectly good phrase for that, and it's shorter.

"I SAID"!

[TheEnd]

What's wrong with Bromance (no homo)

[anonymous-user]

I can think of a few

Any white person going up to a west indian and saying "safe, man"

geezer

The word right, mainly for when my tt next door neighbour gets bladdered thats all he says for about 12 hours,

[Marquis_Rex]

Jim, can you please stop your American bretheren from using words or phrases like 'My bad', "what up?" and 'it's all good'. I mean WTF? Idiots! Does my head in!
This seems to be spreading from the Baggy-trouser-brigade Ghetto tts to normal people.

Yeah, dude.
Can we also ban the overused word of last year 'Chav'. It seems every car, shop, TV or indeed anything is deemed to be this.

Exactly, it is coming from that sector. I try but have yet to find a solution....more to come.

It is at least hopeful that the instigator of this list is an American university.

That's the problem - if they're saying 'I was like' they are telling you what they'd like to have said to the other person...

[julianm]

`Challenge` instead of problem.
`Inappropriate` as in `I have more authority than you, so I can discount your opinion or action, so shut up.

[Morningside]

Passionate - I am fed up with politicians using this for anything.

[Bitzleftover]

Climate either financial or change , sick of the word.

[T89 Callan]

Labour Government.........

Actually it's not just the words that need banning

[Jasandjules]

Bruv, Innit....

[statts1976uk]

One thing I would like to ban is every TV contestant on one of these reality things describing it as "a journey", it gets on my nerves every time.

I especially liked their last phrase...

"We say Obamanough already"...

Couldn't agree more.

[Steamer]

'Chillax'... if it hasnt already been outlawed yet.

[Jazoli]

My nomination is...

Yarp

I mean what the fk?

The internet is just like a school playground, my kids come home saying new words all the time, to see adults copying it on the net is just pathetic.
