:: The Lake Superior State University Word Banishment selection committee has published its 2004 List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness. The lists have appeared regulary since 1976, and have been compiled by The Unicorn Hunters.
This year, over 5,000 nominations were received, a new record. Words that made it onto the list include metrosexual, companion animals, shock and awe, and LOL. I'm disappointed that tipping point didn't make it.
Want to have a word banished? Submit it here, with your reason.
