LSSU Banished Words List

Outside the box - people who use this phrase ought to be locked inside a box.

In the employee evaluation forms my employer has enacted from the lesser, disease ridden bank we bought about three years ago, "outside the box" is a term found under the Leadership description. I responded that I never knew we were confined to boxes, but preferred to look at it from the point of view of a dodecahedron. My boss didn't find my response funny either.

Anyone who shortens Justin Bieber to, "Biebs".

Mentioning him is bad enough, now you're throwing a stupid pet name out there. Please immediately locate the nearest public toilet, and drown yourself.

So you're not a Belieber in the Biebs?

What if you're referring to someone else whose last name also happens to be Bieber that you've known since before Justin ever hit YouTube?

Then by now your friend would have asked to have people reference him by something much more macho, like "Tampon," or something.

There was a 30-something lawyer in Pennsylvania whose name was Justin Bieber. He got tons of calls and they ended up taking his Facebook offline because they thought he was an impersonator.

The way the Boomers talk it's going to be US committing that mass suicide. Apparently not wanting to work 80 hour weeks just to live in the bottom of a well means we want to bring Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong back from the dead and we're all going to burn in hell.

The only real negative stereotype I've heard about X-ers is slacker. They're "cool" and they put their own life first. A lot of Millennials look up to them (especially early ones like me who may have shared some of their memories.) I've never really heard of them getting the "entitlement" crap the Millennials got.

However, X-ers also get the dubious honor of dealing with Kurt "I Make Good Life Choices" Cobain as their spokesman.

I think this is fairly on point.

As a cusp Boomer / Gen X'er, I gotta tell you it's all up to you Millenials. Nothing noble is going to come out of the two generations preceding you.

I made a power point slide of the box I'm supposed to think outside of. One of the surfaces was "code minimum" one was "available technology" one was "occupant comfort", etc. I asked which side I could go outside of?

Definitely "code minimum"

Forward-thinking. Unless it's already been banned. Which it should have been.
 
Re: LSSU Banished Words List

"Touch base"

And my all-time most hated phrase: "To each their own." Commonly followed by ", I guess." I refuse to believe it has ever been used in non-condescending fashion. The only time that thing gets pulled out is when one doesn't agree with another, and the one whose opinion was challenged pulls it out in an invariably dismissal tone. Commonly heard any time anyone has the audacity to state that Thelonious Monk sucks.
 
Re: LSSU Banished Words List

While I'm here: "irregardless"

Then again, it's not even a word so I have no idea if it can even be banned. But to each their own, I guess.
