Banned Words for 2008

Though I don’t agree with banning the word waterboarding (at least not until we ban the practice itself that or rename it Witchhunt Inquisition 2.0) I do agree with the implicit obnoxious for the term webinar. I’ve used it myself but always reluctantly. It is like infopreneur. Or cyberpreneur. Maybe Twuntinar?

Post 9/11 should have been banned years ago and X is the new Y I agree with. Back in the day needs to be thrown into the same pile as ‘old school’. And ‘Under the bus’ is a fantastic term I don’t care what anybody says – how can we have an election season without the phrase ‘throw under the bus’?

    I checked the list out. I have to say I really like the word “word smithing.” It sounds cool. “Give back” though is something I think came from Oprah first. Among the celebrities anyway. The comments are hilarious but I stand by word smithing.
