Cutting Words
Every year, new words get added to the dictionary. For example, this year, some new words that have been added include angiogram, crazy pants, cheddar, porch pirate, gamester, and groomzilla. There must be a word elf holed up in a mountain-side cabin who comes up with these creative additions to the dictionary that is already too massive.
Just as Washington always seems to be talking about, not necessarily doing, cuts in the government’s budget, I’m thinking of a few words and phrases that I would become “giddy-licious” about not hearing anymore. Here are a few who didn’t make the cut:
“…A transfer from…”
“Yah, bro!”
“I saw it on TikTok.”
“Lowest price ever!”
End zone dances (You scored a TD, bro! You didn’t invent a cure for cancer!)
Biden-nomics and MAGA (Retire both, please!)
“Have you gotten this year’s booster shot yet?”
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift (I’d rather people talk about Kelsey Grammar and James Taylor!)
The new iPhone
Reality TV (Whose reality?)
Social influencers
Booty shorts (My sister would not have gotten out of the house!)
Call me old. You can even call me an old bro. You can even call me cheugy! It is what it is (Oh, that phrase should be retired also!)
