Darn it your gonna put Moviebob out of business. But seriously it's hard to decide. Perhaps the word racist so people would stop accusing everything and everybody of being "wasisst" without any thought about context.Doom972 said:I would first like to say that I don't condone the banning of any word, including derogatory words referring to my own heritage and things I like to do in my free time.
With that said, if I have to choose one off the top of my head, it would be "entitled". I would choose it because it encourages the "shut up and don't complain attitude", which I never support because I like to think that things can always be made better.
That's a good point. In which case I'm going to assume when the OP says "ban" s/he means "erase from existence."Twenty Ninjas said:"Ban" and "make it so you never hear it" are two very different things, as well. If I were to ban a word in the legal sense, i.e. arrest anyone who uses it, I wouldn't. It would be a gross violation of human rights and I would be a giant fascist (boy I hope I used that term right) asshole for doing it.

Forobryt was created by "Top English Scientists" to be truely evil. Forobryt even has tea for blood.KOMega said:"fuck"
Not because it offends me or anything, but I'm wondering what would replace it and how ridiculous it would be
There will always be a new word.
"the" would be a good contender since we would all talk partially like cavemen. At least for a while.
Did not think of that. Good idea!Forobryt said:Forobryt would ban the word "I" so that everyone must talk in the 3rd person. Would make the whole world more classy and yet seem more insane at the same time.

You took my answer! I don't mind when kids say it, but for some reason it burns me up when adults say it. You are an adult! Talk like one! Call it a crap or shit or a bowel movement, or use some euphemism like dropping a log, but don't talk like a flipping 7 year old!BathorysGraveland2 said:"Poop"
Fucking hate this word. So damn much. It's possibly the silliest, most juvenile sounding word that is in widespread usage among adults that I've heard. What's going to be said next, pee pee? Gah.
The irony being that on 4chan it's all but a term of endearment. Crazy place that 4chan.TizzytheTormentor said:To be fair, I use the word "******" jokingly, maybe I have been spending too much time on 4Chan...
OT: ****, the word makes me cringe...
Was going to say this.Not G. Ivingname said:"The."
Let mayhem begin. >
AH! that reminds me. Thusly. Thus is already an adverb, you really don't need to add the "ly" to the end of it. Hell, thusly (or is it thustly? eh, don't care) began as a joke word for people trying to sound more sophisticated. Doubly hilarious now that it is actually a word and some people still legitimately use it to sound more sophisticated.JFKRowling said:"Utilize"
I'm not sure if there is any difference in meaning between utilize and use, but if there is, no one who says it is aware of it. It's just a way for people to try to make something that they're saying sound more intelligent. Instead, it merely makes them sound like an asshole. Use is a great little word that's supremely useful. Use it!
