Banned Words of 2012™: The Final Cut
I did a crappy job of updating the list throughout this year. In fact, I did a crappy job of blogging this year, too. I'm not going to bore you with excuses and explanations, though. I am, however, going to outsource at least part of the Banned Words of 2012™ list. This list is a good start, although:
(a) I would just like to point out that both Baby Bump and Amazing made our list a long time ago,
(b) I've never heard the word "Trickeration", and
(c) I am A-okay with "Occupy" (the word and the movement) staying around and thriving throughout the new year, and
(d) I would add the following:
1. Foodie (Shut up and eat.)
2. Grand Bargain (If Bob Kerrey runs for that seat we'll never hear the end of this phrase.)
3. These (Are these as ubiquitous where you live as they are here in New York?)
4. Tweet (No one cares about your Tweets.)
5. Like (You can't, like, ban, like "Like" enough, like times for me, like.)
Happy New Year, Hegemaniacs.

We are about to be overwhelmed by those things, if this is any indication.
Best for the New Yr. anyway!
I would like to add a few. Let's ban "strict constructionist" and "true conservative" and while we're at it, "tea parties" should have lemon and cucumber sandwiches, not grown men in tricorn hats and knee britches pretending to be revolutionaries while do the ownership class' bidding.
So there.
it is what it is
you know what I'm sayin
you're killing me
bipartisan
Geeze, some coporate lackeys want to ban "Occupy" after less than six months of wide spread use?
I wonder why...?
Happy New Year to all, except unpatriotic, anti-American Republicans. May they have a miserable time, and be forced to eat it all one bite at a time.
Hope America can make it through this election year in one piece.
"Job-creating". Used as a reprehensible lie by Republicans. Wait, was I redundant?
uncertainty again.
+ yes yes yes on foodie.
Is it too late to add "furbabies" and "furkids" to the list?
