1
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks.

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 2: It is Sunday, January fourth, and we certainly hope you

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: left a certain number of words.

4
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty five.

5
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: Yes, we have an annual list of banished words that

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: you should not be using this year.

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and Tday.

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: We got ten on the list, right off the bad

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: I agree with seventy eighty percent of the list, right.

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 3: The same and thankfully Same is not on the list,

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: but maybe it should be because I've annoyed myself by

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 3: saying that.

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 4: But yes, I agree with this list.

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: It made me laugh, and I have to admit I

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: did not know this was a thing. There was a

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: banished words words list, and this is the fiftieth annual list.

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been waiting for a big year to do that,

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: so once they got to the fiftieth, we thought this

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: was a good time. But no, give them credit for this,

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: and there is value and it is interesting to see

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: how words kind of evolve over time. But this is

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: out of Lake Superior State University up in of course,

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: uh Michigan. But they've been doing this for fifty years now.

24
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: They actually take submissions, they actually get public input in

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: this year, they got thousands from all over the world

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: as before, so they didn't just pluck these out and

27
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: make them up themselves. A lot of these and I'm

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: curious the listeners will agree with a lot of these said,

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: because don't you go down the list and go hell yeah,

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: please y'all stop saying that.

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: Exactly yes, and like, this is a list that basically

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: are words that are either misused or are useless or

33
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 3: maybe just annoying.

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 4: Correct, That's that's how it makes the list.

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Another one for you here to tease Robes, is

36
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: of the list, are there any that you would say,

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: you know what that one can stay?

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: Yes?

39
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Oh wow, more than one.

40
00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 4: I would say that.

41
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: I know that.

42
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: I say that doesn't mean we should keep it, That's

43
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: what I say.

44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, not based on your usage.

45
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: I think I can only think of one that I

46
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: feel like is okay to say, okay, so only one?

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: Anyone?

48
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: You not to keep? Only one because it doesn't annoy me. So,

49
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: but we will get into that.

50
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: Only one. It's the most boring one on the list. Probably.

51
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: Let's start at the bottom. And this is one that

52
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: took us a second that what are they actually talking

53
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: about here? But we'll go with number ten LEAs on

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 2: their list on the words that should be banished reach out.

55
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: Yes, So I think the concept is it just means

56
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: you don't really care whether or not you ever talk

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: to that person again.

58
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: So it's a dismissive way to leave someone.

59
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, you should reach out instead of saying here's

60
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: my number, or if would you want to text me

61
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: or email me and actually make a real connection with

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 3: a real way to actually communicate afterwards?

63
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: If you just say reach out, it's so generic.

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: Do you hear it that often?

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: Oh?

66
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, now that you describe it is pretty vague and

67
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: it seems whip it. Yeah, like I really don't care

68
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: to hear from you ever that maybe.

69
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: It actually means the opposite of what it sounds like.

70
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: You should reach out TOOM, to your assistant, to your

71
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: mom when wow.

72
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: How there's a lot of questions, okay, follow reach out

73
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: And so that's why people want it vanished.

74
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: It should be banished because it's rude. Basically, it's kind

75
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: of rude. The next one here isn't this this will

76
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: never go away? Haven't people been saying this forever? Number

77
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: nine on the list.

78
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: My bad, Yeah, I've been saying that for as long

79
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: as I can remember, But everybody.

80
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: Says that, it seems, and I guess it.

81
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: Feels like it's a fun way to say I was

82
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: wrong or I'm sorry.

83
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: So maybe that's why it's just too again, flip it.

84
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: Instead of saying I'm sorry or you know, my apology

85
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: is saying my bad is definitely flippant.

86
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: So rude. Yeah, I guess we're getting to the heart

87
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: of this.

88
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: Rude.

89
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: What's another way? Okay, how about this? We'll give alternatives

90
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: along the way. Instead of saying reach out, you could say.

91
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: Here's my number, I'd love to hear from you.

92
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: Nice, okay, instead of saying my bad.

93
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: What could one say I'm so sorry?

94
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: Oh that was easy. We'll keep wording up the list.

95
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: That was number ten, number nine, let's get up to

96
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: number eight. I hear this quite often, and now that

97
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: I read some of what they're saying about it, it

98
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: makes sense that it's annoying.

99
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: Because you're turning a noun into a verb.

100
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: Yes, people don't like that.

101
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 4: So hey, I gifted you this, Yes.

102
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: Gifted is on the list.

103
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: Gifted as a verb is annoying as all get out,

104
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: And I guess that makes sense this was gifted to

105
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: me by I've.

106
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: Never thought about it, but yes, because it's I guess

107
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 3: what they're saying grammatically technically incorrect. You can't just turn

108
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: a noun into a verb. Yes, and when people do it,

109
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: it's annoying. My mom used to get on and I

110
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: don't even know the origins of this. My mom was

111
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: an English teacher. She would get really upset. And there's

112
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: no way this is ever going away. When people say

113
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 3: you disrespected me, she's like respect and disrespect like disrespected me.

114
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 3: It's not a verb, but everyone uses that one as

115
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: a verb, so that would always annoy her.

116
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: Well's the other one that really annoys him. Nauseous and nauseating.

117
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I hope she's not listening because she's getting pissed

118
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: just hearing when people are getting She'll.

119
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: Now know about this list and will start putting in

120
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: her her two cents and she has quite a few.

121
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So hey, give me an example of the en robe.

122
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 2: Besides saying this was gifted to me, This is.

123
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: An easy one.

124
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 4: I guess this was given to me.

125
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Period point play.

126
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: Keep going up the list here we have made it now.

127
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: It's in nine eight seven number seven on the list.

128
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: This is my one.

129
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: Same, okay, this is my one.

130
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: We might have the same feeling because look, it's a

131
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: positive word. I understand that. So the word is perfect.

132
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and say what it is. It's perfect.

133
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: And I do fully acknowledge I say this a lot.

134
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: So if you said, hey, lunch is set four twelve,

135
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: I would say perfect, and that's it would just be like,

136
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: couldn't have you know, had it happen any better? Is

137
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 3: it too aspirational or too annoying, or they're too untrue?

138
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: They're taking a little literally here.

139
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: I think anytime I've used the word perfect, it was

140
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: it was not It was figurative in some way. It

141
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: was fantasy in some way. When you say perfect, this

142
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: means that's ideal for me. That's I mean you look

143
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: at someone and say, oh you look perfect, your ideal.

144
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 2: Like it doesn't mean no imperfect no imperfections. So yeah,

145
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: that was the one I didn't have much of an

146
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: issue with.

147
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 4: I love that we had the same one.

148
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, here you go, so making it up

149
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: the list number six. I guess when I do hear it,

150
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: this does maybe it's because who ends up saying it

151
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: I don't know those gen z.

152
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: Yes, full stop. It's even the way I just said

153
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: that made it extra annoying, just instead of saying stop

154
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: full stop. It feels like something you would see on

155
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: social media when someone's performing to try and you know,

156
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: end an argument.

157
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,239
Speaker 2: They're compared it to it's like saying period point blank

158
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: about it, like you're just putting something. The one they

159
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: use is period. They just period. Then people used to

160
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 2: say that for a while. Do they still?

161
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 4: I think I have recently.

162
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: I'd say, you know, instead of mic drop or whatever,

163
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: you would just say period.

164
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: Okay, this is a more difficult one for you. Then

165
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: what can people say instead of full stop?

166
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 4: Please stop?

167
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 1: No, that's not how it works.

168
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: Full stop check yourself.

169
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: Oh this is going great. Lake Superior State University is listening.

170
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: We're giving you some new goals for next year.

171
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: You need to stop.

172
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: But the way it's used full stop is to like

173
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: to put emphasis on something dith is I'm going to

174
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: go here and then I'm going to graduate, and then

175
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: we're going to this party and then we're going to

176
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: hit out here fullstop. That's how it was used. You're

177
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: using it literally like put pumping the brakes on the

178
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: Bronco right full Oh, let's go up the number five.

179
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: This is another case is this is a made up word?

180
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: How does this work? Incentivized?

181
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: I honestly didn't even recognize that incentivize was again taking

182
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: a nown an incentive and turning it into a verb,

183
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: even though it actually isn't one. I have said this

184
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: word plenty we get incentivized. What's the incentive that would

185
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: be the correct way to put it instead of how

186
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 3: could you incentivize me?

187
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: I hear that? Okay?

188
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: That one is why we hear all the time. The

189
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: next one on the list, number four. As we make

190
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: our way up this one, we actually just got off

191
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: the phone with Sabine asking about I don't hear this one,

192
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: but she says they do.

193
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 3: Oh so, and because there are plenty of ways to

194
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: use it literally and figuratively, And the way that Sabine

195
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: was talking about it was differently than even how I

196
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 3: would use it massive. So the argument is it's way overused,

197
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 3: and often incorrectly. The words massive overuse has secured its

198
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: place on this year's list is how they put it.

199
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: But I'll bomb but I would say something was massive

200
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: because it actually was huge.

201
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 4: But maybe it wasn't that big.

202
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: I do tend to exaggerate, or even some might say

203
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: over exaggerate.

204
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 4: But Sabine's use was I've heard the kids say this

205
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 4: as well.

206
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: Oh I this is not one I've picked up. They

207
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: just talk about something is important, this is going to

208
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 2: be a big deal. That's how she just said it.

209
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: This is not one, So I don't have a beef

210
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: with it because I haven't seen it.

211
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was like that party's going to be massive,

212
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 3: not that there's going to be a lot of people there,

213
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: but that it's a big deal to be at the park.

214
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: And I could see how that could get confusing, because

215
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: if a kid told me a party was going to

216
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: be massive, I'd think probably not going to go because

217
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: we're thinking at least three hundred people. Yeah, that's not

218
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: what they meant. That's kind of funny.

219
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: The next one up to number two and number one here,

220
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: these will be obvious, don't you think?

221
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

222
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: Or was three three two? It was massive?

223
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that massive was four so three two one.

224
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: Ah, I didn't go out. I took number one off

225
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: my screen. It was it wasn't even being considered here.

226
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: But obviously, yes, three two one will be I think

227
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: fairly obvious. I think number three here out of the

228
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: entire list, is the one I might hear most often.

229
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Cooked. Everything cooked. If you get in a little trouble,

230
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: I'm cooked.

231
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 4: My brain is cooked.

232
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: The security lines long, don't know if I'll make my flight, Man,

233
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: I might be cooked. That's how it's used non stop,

234
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 2: because I do hear this from Sabina.

235
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, they say that parents and guardians led the

236
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 3: charge on this one. So in terms of who wrote

237
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: in to say please, this is my word that needs

238
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 3: to be banned, a lot of grown ups were really

239
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: sick of hearing that from kids. I haven't heard that

240
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: as much. It's totally an age thing, a thing that's funny.

241
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: So I had not yeah wow, only from like Sabine's age.

242
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: That's jen a wawa awful. She's walking on the street.

243
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: She forgot her umbrella. Oh see some raine clouds. I

244
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: might be cooked.

245
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: It's constantly every little thing if I'm in.

246
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: Trouble, might be cooked.

247
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: I need to pay more attention. I have not heard

248
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: her say that that's hilarious annoying.

249
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 2: Number two took us a while. I remember when it

250
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: was big in the headlines and whatnot. I didn't necessarily

251
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: get it, then don't get it. Now it's annoying to people.

252
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 3: It is annoying demure because of the phrase very demure,

253
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: very mindful. Yes, it's just annoying. So now it's said

254
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 3: a lot more than it should be very demure, very demure.

255
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: I mean I've only heard it said in just like laughing,

256
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 3: making fun of the whole thing that people were saying.

257
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, if you have somebody who's saying that a lot,

258
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 3: that could get super annoying.

259
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: All right, folks, we're up to number one on the list,

260
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: the number one words that most people want banished for

261
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. We're going to tell you right after

262
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: the break. Frankly, you already know what it is, and

263
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: it won't take you long to figure it out, but

264
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: we're going to use this as a tease anyway. Also,

265
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 2: we'll explain why there's a reason you might have heard

266
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: some of these words and thought, oh, surely that was

267
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: going to go away, that was going to go away. Well,

268
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: there's a reason that some words just won't die. We'll

269
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: give you some of those examples there. All right, we

270
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 2: continue here on Amy and TJ. After a terrible tease

271
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: to think that I teased what the number one the

272
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: most annoying word, essentially is that should be banished for

273
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. This was an obvious one, was it not.

274
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: It certainly was six seven?

275
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

276
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And because you even have to say it a

277
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: certain way when you say it makes it even more annoying.

278
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 3: So yes, a lot of people had some fun with it,

279
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: saying it's time six seven should be eighty six. Yes,

280
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 3: I think that is a consensus vibe just about everybody

281
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: as the most annoying word of twenty twenty five, so

282
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: no one should be saying it in twenty twenty six.

283
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: The last several times you've heard it, has it been

284
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: from an adult or someone under twenty.

285
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: I've actually heard it more from adults, laughing about the

286
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: fact that they now know what it means, because they

287
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: only found out when it made Word of the Year,

288
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 3: and then it all made more sense to them, and

289
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: now they're trying to own it, which means it's totally

290
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: passe and completely uncool to say done now, so.

291
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 4: It should be done.

292
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: It should be cooked absolutely out of here. This was

293
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: interesting to me. They've been, like we said, they've been

294
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: doing this for fifty years. Some words, right, you put

295
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: it on there, it's supposed to be banished, you would think, okay,

296
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: that's probably done, or a word gets its run. But

297
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: there are several words they have given us over the

298
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: years here that have been on the list more than once.

299
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: One of them has been on the list three times

300
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: now romes. I'm looking and I see at least one

301
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: of them had a comeback, and the gap was about

302
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: thirty something years.

303
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 4: It's so funny.

304
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: Most of them were fairly close to each other with

305
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: the number five on the list is a is a

306
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: hilarious one that you would normally think about.

307
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: Yep, it reminded me of another one that probably has

308
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: made the list before too.

309
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 4: But we can get into this. So these are I

310
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 4: love how they call these repeat.

311
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 3: Offenders words that refused to stay banished.

312
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 4: Number five.

313
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 3: Should we start with like we did the last Okay,

314
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 3: hot water heater and you might think, well, what's wrong

315
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: with that?

316
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: So think about it a little longer. We'll give you

317
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: one more second here.

318
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 4: Hot hot water heater.

319
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: Why would there be a problem with that?

320
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: Just needs to be a water heater because if it's

321
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: hot water, it doesn't need to be heated.

322
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 4: So it makes zero sense.

323
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: So that was a banished word in nineteen eighty two,

324
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: and then somehow it made a resurgence and it came

325
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: back in twenty eighteen.

326
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 4: So it made the list twice.

327
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 3: Someone made the or a point or asked the question,

328
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: since when does hot water.

329
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 4: Need to be heated?

330
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: I always think of that as an ATM machine, because

331
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: I have done that before. ATM stands for automated teller machine.

332
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: What's still so ATM machine is hilarious because you're basically

333
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: saying machine machine.

334
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: Well, that's like RBIs in baseball runs batted in. But

335
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: we still a lot of people say RBIs. Yes, I'm

336
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: not mad at you for it.

337
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: I get it.

338
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: I'm looking for an ATM machine. I am that.

339
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 4: I immediately was like, oh, I might not have said

340
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 4: hot water heater, but maybe I have.

341
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: What about cash machine? I'm still on.

342
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 4: The cash machine?

343
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you ever say that a cash machine?

344
00:15:59,120 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: No?

345
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: Okay, ATM machine please? Okay? Number four on the list.

346
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 4: This is funny.

347
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: So this made its debut as a banished word in

348
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: two thousand and nine and then came back again last

349
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: year in twenty twenty five game changer.

350
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 4: Have you heard that a lot this year or last year.

351
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if that is that's a game changer.

352
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a game changer.

353
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: I watch.

354
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: I want a lot of watch a lot of sports,

355
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: so maybe. But yeah, that one doesn't bother me so much.

356
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: They said nothing is a game changer, if everything is

357
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: a game changer, the point being it's overused all the time,

358
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: like it's not really a game changer, but we just

359
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: like to say it is because well, yes, so many

360
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: of us like to exaggerate.

361
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: Number three is one.

362
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: I guess we just pick and choose when we get

363
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: annoyed by it because we hear it all the time. Awesome, awesome, Okay,

364
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: it depends on who says it, how they say it.

365
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: Awes and they say it well, yeah.

366
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: Eighty four and then in two thousand and seven, so

367
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: a pretty big gap between those two years. It annoyed

368
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: us all. Number two of it was okay, every ooh.

369
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: Heard this one coming out of my mouth, and it's

370
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 3: certainly been said a lot in this house, and this

371
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 3: is the one that made it for three years in

372
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine, in twenty twenty two, and then again

373
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four, because it seems like it just

374
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: won't go away at the end of the day.

375
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 4: Stop, why does that want annoy you so much?

376
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 2: It's just filler. That means nothing. It means it's just

377
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: filler for emphasis.

378
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 4: At the end of the day. We all see things differently.

379
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they say that that phrase has the unique

380
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: distinction of triple banishment. So yes, many people share your

381
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 3: disdain for that phrase. And number one, this is actually

382
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: a word that I know as a news anchor.

383
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 4: I think I've said this to.

384
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: You when I when it comes out of my mouth

385
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 3: or out of like go anchor's mouth, I know that

386
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 3: the person has nothing to say because the word is hilarious.

387
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely nineteen ninety six and twenty twenty three.

388
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 4: It's just a default.

389
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 3: There's no actual reaction when you just say absolutely, I.

390
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: Got nothing, or I wasn't listening to you.

391
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what to say. I have no way

392
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 3: to further the conversation, so I'm just going to say absolutely.

393
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: Folks, don't don't just break the bad hapbits, Okay, I should.

394
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say these are overly annoying necessarily to six

395
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 2: y seven. Yes is, but it's interesting, and they make

396
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: a point. Look, it just it does, it helps us

397
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: learn understand I think it's just fascinating. It's part of

398
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: our education and just language evolving, yeah, all over the place.

399
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: So I do think it's cool and I love that

400
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: you pointed it out to me because I had never

401
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 3: seen this list be for so very happy to at

402
