LSSU 2006 List of Banished Words

[Gary Nunn]

I ran across this on some obscure news page, and then after reading it, also
saw it on ABCnews.com. You have to visit the webpage and read the short
description to appreciate why some of these made it to the banished list.


>From the Banished Words history page...
In order to gain the most media coverage possible, the Banishment List is
released each year on New Year's Day. This is attributed to former newsman
Rabe's knowledge of the press. New Year's Day is traditionally a slow news
day. 


2006 list...

BREAKING NEWS - Once it stopped presses. Now it's a lower-intestinal
condition brought about by eating dinner during newscasts. "Now they have to
interrupt my supper to tell me that Katie Holmes is pregnant." - Michael
Raczko, Swanton, Ohio. 

DESIGNER BREED - Many nominators consider this a bastardization of dog
breeding. It may be a good line to use on angry neighbors when an
un-neutered dog escapes. "When you mate a miniature schnauzer to a toy
poodle, it's not a 'Schnoodle,' it's a mongrel." - George Bullerjahn,
Bowling Green, Ohio.

Unfortunately, "Git'R'Done" isn't going away fast enough for me.
The thing I hate most about Larry the Cable Guy is that he makes 
dumb-uninterested-hick-southerness appear to possess some sort of 
mantle of coolness. This, IMO, causes unsophisticates to further 
embrace the redneck ethic of "stupidity worship as a virtue". And 
*that* is a little too close to Cut'N'Shoot, Texas for my taste.
