Unlike a previous post on words removed from the dictionary these words were banished by Lake Superior State University who has been at the task of banning overused words/phrases since 1976. First on their list is cringe due to overuse, next up is game changer which lost favor because everything became a game changer giving the phrase no meaning. Era, other than in the Taylor Swift sense is just plain tired. Dropped, whether referring to a book or music is easily replaced with any number of words and has become flat. IYKYK ( if you know you know) is pretty much meaningless much like "it is what it is". Sorry Not Sorry is just an excuse to be a jerk. Skibidi is just noise and nobody really knows what it means. 100% was used to the point of needing 100% retirement. Utilize is just a way to take up more space in speech since it means the same as use. Last on the list for this year is period, no one needs a statement to be verbally punctuated.
