Lake Superior State University in Michigan is compiling a list of words and phrases that became popular in 2012 that it would like to see kicked to the curb. Among those chosen are “spoiler alert,” “bucket list,” “fiscal cliff,” and “trending.” YOLO, or “you only live once,” tops the list of the most annoying terms of the year.

When people say I’m gonna rape you and stuff I find that offensive.. My brother just started using the word rape as slang and I don’t find it funny.. . I’d ban that one for sure.

Ratchet? Isn’t that a tool that has been around for a hundred years or more?

@Diedra453–
It’s not removing a freedom of speech. It’s an oppinion of what word you’re not a fan of that you think should disappear! Nothing more than that..
