The list is a 'tongue-in-cheek' compilation done every year by Lake Superior State University, which says more than 1,500 words were nominated for 'banishment' due to their 'misuse, overuse and uselessness.'
, and this time it's calling on people to remove"imprecise, trite and meaningless words" like"gaslighting" and"quiet quitting" from their vocabulary.
"Words and terms matter. Or at least they should. Especially those that stem from the casual or causal. That's what nominators near and far noticed, and our contest judges from the LSSU School of Arts and Letters agreed," said Peter Szatmary, the university's executive director of marketing and communications,At the top of the list isn't actually a word, but an acronym: G.O.A.T., or greatest of all time.
Also making the list are"irregardless" , the overused superlatives"amazing" and"absolutely," and several common phrases:"moving forward,""does that make sense?" and"it is what it is." That last one was banished in 2008, but its resurgence prompted its inclusion again.
