Banished Word List

Lake Superior State University has published its latest list of banned phrases for the year. Some I definitely agree with. "Under the bus" has become used a little too often, and it seems that once someone figures out how to use the phrase, they use it all the time. "'Blank' is the new 'blank'" is another term that is used ALL the time. In fact, in reading a story about 2008 yesterday, they said that "blue would be the new green" in terms of energy use. It's just annoying. We are guessing that "Don't tase me, bro!" will make next year's list.

Either way, back to the House's favorite New Year tradition: bowl games!

Happy New Year!
