there is another word that should be banished
KARDASHIAN
There are a few phrases or words I have never heard used all year by anyone:
BABY BUMP
WIN THE FUTURE
TRICKERATION
These words must be an East Coast thing, because here in CA I don't recall hearing anyone use them. In fact I've never even heard of Trickeration (yes, I do watch football) or Win The Future
Those that shall not be named should be deported... to the moon maybe.there is another word that should be banished

Photoshop used as a verb. Banish it!
How about, "Google?"The practice of verbing nouns pre-dates Photoshop, or most other current pop culture. See "The Hacker's Dictionary". Or just see "Xerox".
Yes! Most people use it when they should be using "figuratively". ("The food was so spicy, the inside of my mouth was literally on fire!") And, when they do use it correctly, it's usually unnecessary. ("He pointed the gun at me. And, it was literally the scariest moment of my life.")"Literally" , not so much the word but how people use it.
