Annual List of Words to Be Banished

[RJDiogenes]

They do know a way to make you disappear without a trace.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Use of the suffix "-gate" to describe any scandal - any at all - other than Watergate itself, should have some kind of punishment such as death.

What about that Stargate cover-up at Cheyenne Mountain?

Technically, though, wouldn't you have to call that Stargategate?

"Indeed."

 

[Hoser]

Yes We Can

Someone hates Bob the Builder.

Also no. (I barely even know who that *is*, to be honest.)

Kid's show, you've likely seen it around....

We all made jokes that Obama's campaign manager was Bob the Builder, since his theme song goes 'Yes We Can!'

 

[Spot's Meow]

I got the Bob the Builder theme song stuck in my head many times throughout the campaign.

Bob the Builder! YES WE CAN!

 

[Hoser]

Yes, it was an annoying election season/decade. I had a nightmare where Joe the Plumber had Bob's theme song.

Indeed, but why, oh why, doesn't a beam-out ever happen to me? -Am I not spilling enough 'secrets' on the net?

(I know you're reading this! -and I'll keep on spilling the beans on the interwebs until you beam me off this planet!)

First time I ever heard of that joke.

And I've seen this on greeting cards and children's book covers but I never saw the actual show. Looks like a live action Lego.

Actually it's just "Postman Pat" mark two.

 

[hellsgate]

Rod Blagojevich --- like anyone was going to be paying ANY attention to Obama's old position & who'd be the most likely protege to fill the vacated position, after the United States' most historic changing-of-the-guard? (In condescending "Mr Roger's Neighborhood" style voice) "Can you say, 'MORON?' Goooooooood! I knew you could!"

 

[Red Ranger]

Surge. REAL tired of that!

 

[K'Ehleyr]

Innit

God I hate that expression, along with many MANY others which children (and, sadly, adults) seem to be using over here in the UK


Hugo - in pain when he here's a kid say the aforementioned word

My teen's picked up 'awesome' including really annoying accent. I find you can correct this irritation by repeatedly imitating them saying it

Indeed (thanx Muddy) Xcept, in Danish, Just to put a bit of 'fun' into this thread, "Pat" actually means "Tit"

 

[msbae]

Blogosphere, Vista & Economy are the words I'm tired of hearing...

 

[Sakrysta]

I heard one on the radio this morning and thought, "Oh yeah, that's a good one I'm sick of hearing." But now I can't remember what it was.

Meanwhile, I've been hearing "on point" and "going forward" far too much lately.
