The new year is officially here. The frozen funlovers at Lake Superior State University have issued the 2014 List of Banished Words. They will twerk your fanbase, send the twittersphere reaching for the steroids, and set off the mister momageddon.
The winner this year is selfie. People have been taking self portraits in the bathroom for quite a while. The shampoo on the sink is embarrassed. It is only recently that the six letter name was coined. The name may fade away. The custom will be with us for a while, until the mirror explodes in shame.
Another case of a new bottle for old wine is twerk, twerking. As long as people have moved in time to music, the backfield has been in motion. After a recent awards show performance, we learn that this dancehall move has a name. What is even more amazing is the people screaming cultural appropriation. Some say an ethnic group invented booty shaking. Everyone else is a copycat.
The chosen phrases were presented in all caps. This is a trend that should be banished, but probably will not be. It does created extra work for slack bloggers. The remaining four independent banished phrases are hashtag, twittersphere, mister mom, and t-bone.
There are three categories for the remaining bw. Suffering suffixes are ___ on steroids, -ageeddon, and -pocalypse. Politics contributes intellectually / morally bankrupt, and obamacare. Sports gives us adversity, and fan base. There was no category for racism or religion. Photographs today are from “The Special Collections and Archives, Georgia State University Library”.
