I saw this online tonight and had to post it. What other words or phrases do you think should be added?

Associated Press - December 30, 2008 2:04 PM ET
Lake Superior State University's 2009 list of banished words:
green
carbon footprint or carbon offsetting
maverick
first dude
bailout
Wall Street/Main Street
monkey
3 (Emoticon for 'heart' used in text messages and e-mail.)
icon or iconic
game changer
staycation
desperate search
not so much
winner of 5 nominations
it's that time of year again
***Here are my personal ones that I would like to add:
reflection
engage in diaglogue
And this has to be done away with..............the word "random." I am tired of hearing someone say "he's (or she's) so random." What exactly does that mean?

Thank goodness "maverick" is on there!
But why does "green" have to be???
Or "carbon footprint"???

Some words and phrases really do get overused don't they, Struke. One that I'm tired of is "I know, right?" I'm glad to see maverick is on the list. Fun post. :)
Hope you have a Happy New Year, Struke! :D
I haven't heard "carbon footprint" that much. I thought "green" was big two years ago.
Happy New Year to you, Daisy and Bella!
I just got done REFLECTING about 2008. Whoops!
I don't like the words:
Totally
For sure
Like
He/she is so
Gag me with a spoon
