Lake Superior State University Banished Words List
Lake Superior State University proposes the 32nd annual List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness. On Dec. 31, 1975, former LSSU Public Relations Director Bill Rabe and some colleagues cooked up the whimsical idea to banish overused words and phrases and issued the first list on New Year's Day. Much to the delight of word enthusiasts everywhere, the list has stayed the course into a fourth decade.
