Lake Superior State University in Michigan, US, have issued their "38th annual List of Words to be Banished from the Queen's English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness." While their lists are quite amusing, unfortunately the world seems not to take the heed that it deserves. 

This year's list includes a political entry: Fiscal Cliff. We've heard this word 17 times daily at the very least and actually it's not helping anyone. Yes, we're teetering on the brink of financial ruin, but what began as an astute analogy the horrifying state of our bank balance, has become as over used and offensive as 'collateral damage'. 

Boneless Wings is in the list as well, and while both 'Fiscal Cliff' and 'Collateral Damage' are euphemisms, 'boneless wings' is almost a dysphemism. Of course, it describes what you're eating exactly, but sometimes you don't want to be reminded of that. LSSU recommends 'chicken pieces' instead. 

Another entry: YOLO. This needs no explanation. Just like the fact that we only live once didn't need to be told to us by every single 9 year old that has crossed our path in the last 6 months.

Fingers crossed all of these words will be all but fossils in our memory by the time we come around to 2014, but judging by the continued usage of words that have made in the list in the past, we aren't holding out too much hope. Last year the list included 'The new normal', which is now the name of a sitcom. Baby bump has been used a lot today to talk in reference to Kim Kardashian's growing belly, and we should remind you that everything is still AMAZING despite that word being banned last year as well.
