"Hands off book titles as cheap descriptors!"

Aside from Public Domain Day (except for here in America- 1936 4EVA!), the start of January also means it's time for the 2008 List of Banished Words from Lake Superior State University.

Highlights:

• They've come to accept what everyone else knows about truthiness: it's awesome.


• On "perfect storm"- "Hands off book titles as cheap descriptors!" – David Hollis, Hamilton, New York.


• Pop via decorators


• It is what it is

Insert witty phrase using "random," "sweet," and "Back in the day." wait we're just banning them this year?
