The public relations department at Lake Superior State University has released its list of “banished words” and phrases, some of which I’m horribly guilty of using in casual conversation, including “perfect storm” and “sweet.” Aside from making me self-conscious when talking to others, this list is a good reminder to check over my writing for any overused words or cliches that might make their way in there.
Got any words that deserve to make the 2008 list? LSSU is accepting submissions. If you need inspiration, I recommend watching any post-game interview of a losing NFL coach.
