The verboten list.

Awesome how a gimmick can put a JSchool on the map: Your neighbor, Lake Superior State University, polls students and faculty for the year's most overused words and blasts them across the Internets every January first. (Note to Drake admissions folk: This sort of thing would have revved my 18-year-old engine as I was applying to schools, nerd that I am/was.)

The truncated list, for your pleasure:
  • PERFECT STORM
  • WEBINAR
  • WATERBOARDING
  • ORGANIC
  • WORDSMITH/WORDSMITHING
  • AUTHOR/AUTHORED
  • POST 9/11
  • SURGE
  • GIVE BACK
  • 'BLANK' is the new 'BLANK' or 'X' is the new 'Y'
  • BLACK FRIDAY
  • BACK IN THE DAY
  • RANDOM
  • SWEET
  • DECIMATE
  • EMOTIONAL
  • POP
  • IT IS WHAT IT IS
  • UNDER THE BUS

I'd second that. Also, anyone using "wordsmithing" in an upcoming post gets $2 in the mail from me.
