I, personally, wouldn’t mind if I NEVER heard the phrase “Homeland Security” ever again. Whatever happened to the Department of Defense? Just don’t get me started about how Bush is running this country.
Anyway, Lake Superior State University has issued its 28th annual ‘extreme’ List of Words Banished from the Queen’s English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness, which the world needs ‘now, more than ever.’
Among the words/phrases on the list: Must-See TV, Material Breach, Untimely Death, and Now, More Than Ever.

The banned words are really true and some are amusing. My favourites are “negative growth” and “friendly fire”.
