The Banished Words....do YOU agree?

True but "Photoshoped" is what annoys me.

I guess I never favored "Xeroxed" either. It suggests a brand to be used. Maybe its because I had a career in advertising. If I'm going to push a brand name, I want paid for that.

Aww, just grab a Kleenex and have a good cry

When my wife tells me to go to Sam's Club to buy Kleenex she means it -- since its the only brand we buy of tissues.

I don't here xeroxed nearly as much any more, and can't tell you the last time I used an "actual" xerox machine.

How about, "Google?"

Googled is a verb, but I pretty much rely on Google to do my googling.

I use ask Jeeves to do my googling.

"trickeration" is a very popular yet humorous made up sports caster / announcer / coach-speak word that was introduced in the early 2000's (or there-about), if you are a coach/player of US football, a avid watcher of the NFL, NCAA football or ESPN you have heard this (or just simply missed it); otherwise I can see how you haven't. It is also the title of a Cab Calloway song from the 30's.

Had never heard the term used otherwise but the sports isn't part of my vocabulary.

KARDASHIAN

Shot would be better.

Armando Christian Pérez also known as "Pitbull" is another 1.

He's just BORING. Saw him on New Years Eve (almost used NYE but figured many here wouldn't understand) Celebrations. He rapped to a track of his BIG HIT sans the real artist.

I think I remember seeing "it is what it is" on a past list. The Real Housewives show made that phrase way overused a few years ago. I do hear 'baby bump' but another one that is used by older ladies, is 'with child'.. I just told ppl I was pregnant, it kept it sweet and simple! lol
