What a horrible year, right? Why can’t Trump just die so we can let the refugees have a nice soft bed and a hot meal?
Meanwhile, we’re not totally helpless. We can complain about words and word usage. We can vow not to use them in 2019, and like on Peewee’s Playhouse, we can scream really loud if someone says any of them.

I know I’m forgetting about a million people and words.
Help me out.
Thank you!
You missed Trump off that list. He should be at the top. In caps.
Connie – My pleasure!
Madame Restora – Well, I did mention him in the beginning. He would be first on my “Needs to Die” list, followed closely by Mitch McConnell.

Butt hurt, I hate butt hurt.
Amazing list. Could I please add Kombucha, Scooby and Keto?
Dj – Oh my god, “base”, I am so sick of the fucking “base” thank you! I see you are done with all the Trump-related words and so am I. I just want to hear, Guilty, motherfucker.
Jane – Hahahahahahhaha
Melissochka – I can’t believe I forgot “influencer!” This shows how senile I am. Does “doggo” just mean dog or what?
Marla Griffith – Yes, that one is disturbing. But I used it recently to demean someone, thereby demeaning myself. Please forgive, it was just a one-off.
Beannie – Kombucha, ew, hate!!! What is Keto?? I stand ready to hate it.
Thank you for including self-care. The absolute hatred I feel for that term is shocking.
Just take a bath, do your nails, put on a mask on Sunday night and then get on with your life. No need to post your ‘ self care routine’, barf. I see these Instgram accounts dedicated to ‘self -care’ and I want to scream. Our grandmothers called it ‘personal hygiene’ and on occasion ‘ mom needs to shut the door and take a little nap’ . ‘Self care’ just sounds so navel gazey. See it make me nuts. You may have include this in past listed but ‘my journey’ and ‘ standing in my truth’ or just ‘ my truth’ can skedaddle too.
.
Keto is an abbreviated term for adopting the no carbohydrates style of eating so your liver is stressed into Keto-acidosis and you burn fat. Food wankerism.
If we’re going to do ‘Kombucha’, we definitely need to add ‘Scoby’.
People still haven’t moved on from Curated, Pop and Literally. When will this ever stop?

Not a very inspiring list, but annoying, none the less.

Are we done with having to deal with “gluten free?” I know people with Crohn’s and other genuine illnesses have to worry about this but can everyone else stop it and move on to something new? I’ve recently heard that you can shut down your liver in order to burn off calories. Apparently this process is called keto and Kato Kalin will be publishing his version of this revolutionary lifestyle any day now. There will be videos featuring Billy Blanks’ version of the keto kraze as well.
Since I now work outside of academia, people have warned me to stay in my own lane. What a fucking stupid, horrible term: staying in one’s own lane.
I’m quitting if anyone ever says that to me again.
Also, can we stop talking about sneakers?
Taking a knee, and any variation.

Here’s a life hack for you: fuck off and die.

MADE ME SPIT OUT MY COFFEE!! LOL!
Hello Sister Wolf! Love your writing, love this blog.
I nominate OVERWHELM as a noun as the absolute worst word of 2018. If people were saying that before this past year I didn’t hear it. I’ve been hearing it lately and I hate it.
