These words should be banned.
Or, we could just get rid of Keith Lemon, thus cutting off "bangtidy" at its source.

The word I'd pick would be "shwopping". Anyone else with the misfortune to has seen those M&S adverts going on about the concept of shwopping (you give them your old clothes when you're in buying new ones, simultaneously eradicating global poverty and bringing about world peace) will know this word.

Seriously, put it away. Don't ever bring it out again.

Quadrilogy.

Getting rid of that abomination would reduce my overall rage levels by at least 60 percent.

Aye aye sir. Also I'm in complete agreement of your M&S word that should not be said again.

This. It'll utterly gut the vocabulary of people I don't like!

If not that, then the word "blah". It's never used in a context that not either A. rude, or B. Ke$ha's worst music.

I dare you to say otherwise.

What's a bangtidy? I'd get rid of verse because it means, as a verb, to express in verse, AND THAT'S FUCKING IT, NOTHING ELSE, JUST MEANS TO RECITE AS POETRY WHEN USED AS A VERB. upsets me a little to hear it as if versus was a verb

oh, maybe "it" so the scene in quest for the holy grail never ends, and the stephen king book is just called ...

"Swag", "epic", "fail", "badass". All due to overuse. I'd also nominate "cray", "lol", and every other internet/texting acronym someone pronounces as a word, but none of those are even words.

Dieing. Not a word you say? Well, the times I've actually seen people write "dying" have been few and far between. It's only a matter of time until they cut out the middle man, or rather the middle word.

That is not a world I want to live in.

Too easy to work around ("Father", "deity", "holy creator", etc.).

It's best to pick words that actively hurt your ears or have no alternative.

"Addicting" because it's not a fucking word say addictive and stop being a ****.
If it's not a word, than you can't remove it.


OT: I'd probably go with "heteronormative"

I would get rid of the word hate.

Reason: So that way no one can hate again :D

Real reason: Because it has become so over used that it has actually lost its meaning, so now I'm going to have to find a word stronger than hate to describe how I feel about others.

"and"

Then watch the world go completely bonkers.
Oh please. In no way would the removal of that word cause an issue among the populous, Frankly I believe it is seriously overrated in its usefulness. Many words can be used to replace it such as "Furthermore" or "Continuing". If one wishes to tie two passages together all you must do is rethink your wording while simultaneously looking through a thesaurus for replacements.

Also, the formal speech used in this post served no reason; I merely felt like exercising my use of English thus proving that 11 years of education was not in vain.

You cock eating shit sucking ass licking bastard! How dare you . . . oh wait, I've still got plenty of words to work with ;P Carry on good sir.

OT: I'd ban the word "veggies", as in the abbreviation for vegetables. I don't know why, but that word makes me want to burn things.
