The phrase ‘fiscal cliff’ was clearly trending in 2012.
I’ve been meaning to renew my annual practice of blogging about LSSU‘s list of banished words but I guess I kicked the can down the road. Since I’m passionate about the subject, I doubled down on a recent flight. Fueled by boneless wings (my Superfood of choice), I created this post.
The gurus of banishment came up with the following list for 2013:
- Fiscal cliff
- Kick the can down the road
- Double down
- Job creator s
- Passionate
- YOLO “You only live once”
- Spoiler alert
- Bucket list
- Trending
- Superfood
- Boneless wings
- Guru
Banishing these words from your vocabulary should be on your bucket list. They are a waste of effort and, after all, you (SPOILER ALERT) only live once.

Oh my, Jonathan, you’ve got a good list there. Should these be incorporated into the Buzzword Bingo Wiki?

Hi Jonathan
Damn, I thought Yolo was cool 😎 😆
I can see the humour in Yolo generated content like the Lonely Island YOLO song:

I’d also like to see Rachael Ray’s “EVOO” banned for good.
But everything that One Direction does is still golden in your book. Right, Tim?

I think we should add these words to SCN’s Inappropriate Vocabulary Scrub Machine. Then your blog would read like this:
“The phrase ‘*****’ was clearly ***** in 2012.
I’ve been meaning to renew my annual practice of blogging about LSSU‘s list of banished words but I guess I *****. Since I’m ***** about the subject, I ***** on a recent flight. Fueled by ***** (my ***** of choice), I created this post.
The ***** of banishment came up with the following list for 2013:
Banishing these words from your vocabulary should be on your *****. They are a waste of effort and, after all, you (*****) *****.
