Words to Banish

If you go to the website for Lake Superior State University in SaultSte. Marie, Michigan

http://www.lssu.edu/banished/current.php

you can review a list of words that have been proposed for banishment in 2007, along with the reasoning behind the proposed banishment. On the same page you can also propose words you think should be banished.

I just submitted the following.

Exit signs for the CIA complex off the George Washington Parkway in Fairfax County Virginia say "George Bush Center for Intelligence" Given the last six years of his imperial reign, I think its obvious that "George Bush" and "intelligence" is a classic oxymoron that nobody should have to utter.
