At the tender age of two she curiously shoved cardboard up her nose just to see what would happen. Thus began a life-long fascination with the world around her.
The following is the result of residual cardboard still lodged in her brain cavity. Please peruse.
LSSU's 36th annual List of Banished Words
It’s pretty long. But the best quotes are:
On banning the word “epic”: “Standards for using ‘epic’ are so low, even ‘awesome’ is embarrassed.”
On banning the acronym “BFF”: “These chicks call each other BFF (Best Friends Forever) and it lasts about 10 minutes. Now there’s BFFA (Best Friends For Awhile), which makes more sense.”
On banning the phrase “I’m just sayin’”: “‘A phrase used to diffuse any ill feelings caused by a preceded remark,’ according to the Urban Dictionary. Do we really need a qualifier at the end of every sentence? People feel uncomfortable with a comment that was made and then ‘just sayin” comes rolling off the tongue? It really doesn’t change what was said, I’m just sayin’.”
“And we would never have known if you hadn’t told us.”
