Are there certain words and phrases that you are SO sick of hearing that you’d wish they could be banned for life? Forty years ago, Lake Superior State University started publishing a list of words that should be banned for “misuse, overuse and uselessness.” (The words on the list come from submissions from the public received during the previous year.)
So which words made this year’s list of “Words that Should Be Banished” from the English language?
Click the play arrow on the audio bars below to hear us talk about a few of those words and phrases during a recent week of the Mamas on Magic 107.9 radio segment. (You can hear the show live on Magic 107.9 at 7:45 a.m. each weekday.)
