Bye-lingual: 'Surge,' 'organic' make annual list of banned word...

I would ad..... "they do what they do".... Michael Irving.

"it is what it is"........ useless!

If they only banned the F word half the people in this county couldn't communicate or express themselves.
As far as the N word being banned.
I use it all the time.
No I will not.
No I do not.
No I have not.
No I will not give.
And No I do not know.

This is a poorly written article with no guts to it and an article like this without a list is just stupid.
As for useless phrases, says who? The brainiacs at this one college? For example, "it is what it is" is a spiritual statement of surrender.
There should be a list of new words and what they mean, a list of pase words that are not in vogue anymore, words from the past that were new at the time.
Explanations of how the typical American accent in movies has changed. There was a lot of potential for this whitebread dull article.

why ban porkchop?

it seems like mcall has.....

``Reference'' as a verb is stupid, and it's in a quotation here by somebody claiming to be a ``wordsmith.''
STAY THE COURSE!

Some people have nothing better to do than dream up this crap. Too much free time. Wonder if tax $$ is involved......

Here's my nomination: "I could care less." Arrrgh!

Dagnabbed! If them f***** elitists read this one, they'll have a fit, I hope ! Its old ba****** like me that keep the colloquial spirit alive. Tennesse williams would sh** on their heads if he where to be alive. he-he-he,,,, Thank you kindly.

Awesome .... it is what it is.

Wow! Honkie & Cracker (spelled right) are white racist words but is ok to be used by the Black race without any reverse discrimination.

Let's get rid of "Bling-Bling"

And if they can get rid of those trendy dotted phone numbers and get back to using dashes, I'll be happy.

You're stupid, and I'm going to tell you why.

There is NO such things as reverse discrimination. Either you discriminate or you don't. Your p o r k c h o p comments renders no response as you've proved you're an idiot.

Thats because the surge isn't working. The Taliban just blew up a funeral and killed a few dozen people in Baghdad. The surge isn't working. No wonder they want the word banned. Ban the word Muslim and insert Taliban instead.

How many times do you hear - amazing, this is amazing, that is amazing, "did you see that, It's amazing. Save it for something that truly is amazing.
