Banned Words of 2011™: The Final Cut

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Because it's never too early to put the world on notice...

1. Breathless: Stop breathlessly describing your frenemy's blog post as "breathless".
2. Bipartisan: Simultaneously the most meaningless and dangerous word in American politics.
3. Elites: May only be uttered when referring to David Brooks.
4. Folks (when uttered by any politician): This has simply got to stop.
5. Frenemies: So very Gretchen Carlson. Hey! Let's ban her, too!
6. Hippie Punching: For Christ's sake, I know you think Obama is trying to provoke you personally, but really -- it's not about you.
   
7. Homeland: Still awful after all these years.
8. Lamestream/Mainstream/Establishment: If you are on television using any of these words, you are lamestream/mainstream/establishment.
9. Real Housewives of ___________. Aren't there already enough cultural outlets for your misogyny?
   
10. The American People: See "Folks", above.
    

Happy new year, Hegemaniacs.
