Quick one here just cause I can't believe there was a meeting, in a room, with smart people, and this was something that was discussed.
Appearently Time puts out a list of 15 words each year that are to be thrown out of our use because in the previous year we used them too much. Now for me Time is a well respected knowledgable source of many types and formats of media and news. But to know that while we sit in a poor economy, huge jobless rate, massive national debt, global warming (or so they say), foreign relations problems, and national insecurity. Here we are with a list of just 15 words that were over used and are deserving of banishment from our entire vocabulary.
God Bless America! And here is the list so no one panic we can all rest assured that from here in none of these words will bother us ever again....Or at least until 2011.
The complete 2010 list:
1. Shovel-ready
2. Transparent/Transparency
3. Czar
4. Tweet
5. App
6. Sexting
7. Friend as a verb
8. Teachable Moment
9. In These Economic Times...
10. Stimulus
11. Toxic Assets
12. Too Big to Fail
13. Bromance
14. Chillaxin'
15. Obama as a prefix
