There was a 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:56.680 banished words words list, and this is the fiftieth annual list. 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.840 Yeah, we've been waiting for a big year to do that, 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.440 so once they got to the fiftieth, we thought this 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.200 was a good time. But no, give them credit for this, 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.039 and there is value and it is interesting to see 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.480 how words kind of evolve over time. But this is 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.440 out of Lake Superior State University up in of course, 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.640 uh Michigan. But they've been doing this for fifty years now. 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:21.760 They actually take submissions, they actually get public input in 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.400 this year, they got thousands from all over the world 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.600 as before, so they didn't just pluck these out and 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.119 make them up themselves. A lot of these and I'm 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.080 curious the listeners will agree with a lot of these said, 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.399 because don't you go down the list and go hell yeah, 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:35.800 please y'all stop saying that. 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.240 Exactly yes, and like, this is a list that basically 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.679 are words that are either misused or are useless or 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:44.759 maybe just annoying. 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.040 Correct, That's that's how it makes the list. 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.640 Okay, Another one for you here to tease Robes, is 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.440 of the list, are there any that you would say, 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.320 you know what that one can stay? 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:56.600 Yes? 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.320 Oh wow, more than one. 0:01:58.840 --> 0:01:59.680 I would say that. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.400 I know that. 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:05.800 I say that doesn't mean we should keep it, That's 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:06.440 what I say. 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.079 No, no, no, no, not based on your usage. 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.720 I think I can only think of one that I 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:18.040 feel like is okay to say, okay, so only one? 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:21.440 Anyone? 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:26.440 You not to keep? Only one because it doesn't annoy me. So, 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:27.520 but we will get into that. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.960 Only one. It's the most boring one on the list. Probably. 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:31.920 Let's start at the bottom. And this is one that 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.639 took us a second that what are they actually talking 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.160 about here? But we'll go with number ten LEAs on 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.119 their list on the words that should be banished reach out. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.880 Yes, So I think the concept is it just means 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.480 you don't really care whether or not you ever talk 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:48.360 to that person again. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.040 So it's a dismissive way to leave someone. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.320 Like, yeah, you should reach out instead of saying here's 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.560 my number, or if would you want to text me 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.080 or email me and actually make a real connection with 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.799 a real way to actually communicate afterwards? 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.760 If you just say reach out, it's so generic. 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:07.760 Do you hear it that often? 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:08.000 Oh? 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.240 Yeah, now that you describe it is pretty vague and 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.280 it seems whip it. Yeah, like I really don't care 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.920 to hear from you ever that maybe. 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.000 It actually means the opposite of what it sounds like. 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:24.760 You should reach out TOOM, to your assistant, to your 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.760 mom when wow. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.079 How there's a lot of questions, okay, follow reach out 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:32.760 And so that's why people want it vanished. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.640 It should be banished because it's rude. Basically, it's kind 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.120 of rude. The next one here isn't this this will 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.640 never go away? Haven't people been saying this forever? Number 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:42.800 nine on the list. 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.240 My bad, Yeah, I've been saying that for as long 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.640 as I can remember, But everybody. 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.840 Says that, it seems, and I guess it. 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.840 Feels like it's a fun way to say I was 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.520 wrong or I'm sorry. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.120 So maybe that's why it's just too again, flip it. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.760 Instead of saying I'm sorry or you know, my apology 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.040 is saying my bad is definitely flippant. 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.480 So rude. Yeah, I guess we're getting to the heart 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:10.760 of this. 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:11.960 Rude. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.120 What's another way? Okay, how about this? We'll give alternatives 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.880 along the way. Instead of saying reach out, you could say. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.800 Here's my number, I'd love to hear from you. 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.320 Nice, okay, instead of saying my bad. 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.400 What could one say I'm so sorry? 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.640 Oh that was easy. We'll keep wording up the list. 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.320 That was number ten, number nine, let's get up to 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.800 number eight. I hear this quite often, and now that 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.880 I read some of what they're saying about it, it 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.880 makes sense that it's annoying. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.880 Because you're turning a noun into a verb. 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.000 Yes, people don't like that. 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.600 So hey, I gifted you this, Yes. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.560 Gifted is on the list. 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.960 Gifted as a verb is annoying as all get out, 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.719 And I guess that makes sense this was gifted to 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.920 me by I've. 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.159 Never thought about it, but yes, because it's I guess 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.720 what they're saying grammatically technically incorrect. You can't just turn 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.760 a noun into a verb. Yes, and when people do it, 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.560 it's annoying. My mom used to get on and I 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.400 don't even know the origins of this. My mom was 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.560 an English teacher. She would get really upset. And there's 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.440 no way this is ever going away. When people say 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:20.839 you disrespected me, she's like respect and disrespect like disrespected me. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.040 It's not a verb, but everyone uses that one as 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:25.560 a verb, so that would always annoy her. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.880 Well's the other one that really annoys him. Nauseous and nauseating. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.160 Okay, I hope she's not listening because she's getting pissed 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.320 just hearing when people are getting She'll. 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.120 Now know about this list and will start putting in 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.800 her her two cents and she has quite a few. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.560 Okay, So hey, give me an example of the en robe. 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.919 Besides saying this was gifted to me, This is. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:45.400 An easy one. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:46.800 I guess this was given to me. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:47.800 Period point play. 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.000 Keep going up the list here we have made it now. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.960 It's in nine eight seven number seven on the list. 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.039 This is my one. 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.080 Same, okay, this is my one. 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.760 We might have the same feeling because look, it's a 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.760 positive word. I understand that. So the word is perfect. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.880 Let's go ahead and say what it is. It's perfect. 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.560 And I do fully acknowledge I say this a lot. 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.640 So if you said, hey, lunch is set four twelve, 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.720 I would say perfect, and that's it would just be like, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:21.520 couldn't have you know, had it happen any better? Is 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:25.679 it too aspirational or too annoying, or they're too untrue? 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.480 They're taking a little literally here. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.080 I think anytime I've used the word perfect, it was 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.560 it was not It was figurative in some way. It 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.560 was fantasy in some way. When you say perfect, this 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.320 means that's ideal for me. That's I mean you look 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.080 at someone and say, oh you look perfect, your ideal. 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.280 Like it doesn't mean no imperfect no imperfections. So yeah, 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.000 that was the one I didn't have much of an 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:46.400 issue with. 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:47.920 I love that we had the same one. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.400 Oh my goodness, here you go, so making it up 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:55.040 the list number six. I guess when I do hear it, 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.320 this does maybe it's because who ends up saying it 0:06:58.400 --> 0:06:59.760 I don't know those gen z. 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.240 Yes, full stop. It's even the way I just said 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.240 that made it extra annoying, just instead of saying stop 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.600 full stop. It feels like something you would see on 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.560 social media when someone's performing to try and you know, 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:15.400 end an argument. 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.239 They're compared it to it's like saying period point blank 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.880 about it, like you're just putting something. The one they 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.960 use is period. They just period. Then people used to 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.679 say that for a while. Do they still? 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.000 I think I have recently. 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.720 I'd say, you know, instead of mic drop or whatever, 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:33.640 you would just say period. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.800 Okay, this is a more difficult one for you. Then 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.000 what can people say instead of full stop? 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:41.320 Please stop? 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.239 No, that's not how it works. 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.080 Full stop check yourself. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:53.120 Oh this is going great. Lake Superior State University is listening. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.280 We're giving you some new goals for next year. 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:57.080 You need to stop. 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.120 But the way it's used full stop is to like 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.040 to put emphasis on something dith is I'm going to 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:06.840 go here and then I'm going to graduate, and then 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:08.320 we're going to this party and then we're going to 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.440 hit out here fullstop. That's how it was used. You're 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.000 using it literally like put pumping the brakes on the 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:19.000 Bronco right full Oh, let's go up the number five. 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.080 This is another case is this is a made up word? 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.440 How does this work? Incentivized? 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:31.360 I honestly didn't even recognize that incentivize was again taking 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.520 a nown an incentive and turning it into a verb, 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.040 even though it actually isn't one. I have said this 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:42.680 word plenty we get incentivized. What's the incentive that would 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.240 be the correct way to put it instead of how 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:46.439 could you incentivize me? 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:47.560 I hear that? Okay? 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.600 That one is why we hear all the time. The 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.280 next one on the list, number four. As we make 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.240 our way up this one, we actually just got off 0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.679 the phone with Sabine asking about I don't hear this one, 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:01.880 but she says they do. 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.559 Oh so, and because there are plenty of ways to 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.760 use it literally and figuratively, And the way that Sabine 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.000 was talking about it was differently than even how I 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:17.240 would use it massive. So the argument is it's way overused, 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:22.079 and often incorrectly. The words massive overuse has secured its 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.240 place on this year's list is how they put it. 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.120 But I'll bomb but I would say something was massive 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:29.840 because it actually was huge. 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.199 But maybe it wasn't that big. 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.400 I do tend to exaggerate, or even some might say 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:36.800 over exaggerate. 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.640 But Sabine's use was I've heard the kids say this 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:40.120 as well. 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.360 Oh I this is not one I've picked up. They 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.200 just talk about something is important, this is going to 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:47.960 be a big deal. That's how she just said it. 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.480 This is not one, So I don't have a beef 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:52.640 with it because I haven't seen it. 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.640 Yeah, she was like that party's going to be massive, 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:56.839 not that there's going to be a lot of people there, 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.160 but that it's a big deal to be at the park. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.360 And I could see how that could get confusing, because 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.040 if a kid told me a party was going to 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.600 be massive, I'd think probably not going to go because 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.040 we're thinking at least three hundred people. Yeah, that's not 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.360 what they meant. That's kind of funny. 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.840 The next one up to number two and number one here, 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.720 these will be obvious, don't you think? 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:18.240 Yeah? 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.000 Or was three three two? It was massive? 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:24.439 Yeah, and that massive was four so three two one. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.880 Ah, I didn't go out. I took number one off 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.880 my screen. It was it wasn't even being considered here. 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:36.040 But obviously, yes, three two one will be I think 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:40.840 fairly obvious. I think number three here out of the 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.560 entire list, is the one I might hear most often. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.480 Cooked. Everything cooked. If you get in a little trouble, 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:51.440 I'm cooked. 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.160 My brain is cooked. 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.760 The security lines long, don't know if I'll make my flight, Man, 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:01.480 I might be cooked. That's how it's used non stop, 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.959 because I do hear this from Sabina. 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.920 Yes, yes, they say that parents and guardians led the 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:08.839 charge on this one. So in terms of who wrote 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.360 in to say please, this is my word that needs 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.199 to be banned, a lot of grown ups were really 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.480 sick of hearing that from kids. I haven't heard that 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.160 as much. It's totally an age thing, a thing that's funny. 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.360 So I had not yeah wow, only from like Sabine's age. 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.720 That's jen a wawa awful. She's walking on the street. 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.760 She forgot her umbrella. Oh see some raine clouds. I 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:32.520 might be cooked. 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.120 It's constantly every little thing if I'm in. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:37.559 Trouble, might be cooked. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.640 I need to pay more attention. I have not heard 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.360 her say that that's hilarious annoying. 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.720 Number two took us a while. I remember when it 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.480 was big in the headlines and whatnot. I didn't necessarily 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.000 get it, then don't get it. Now it's annoying to people. 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.680 It is annoying demure because of the phrase very demure, 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:59.400 very mindful. Yes, it's just annoying. So now it's said 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.319 a lot more than it should be very demure, very demure. 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.280 I mean I've only heard it said in just like laughing, 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.720 making fun of the whole thing that people were saying. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.400 But yeah, if you have somebody who's saying that a lot, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.079 that could get super annoying. 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.800 All right, folks, we're up to number one on the list, 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:19.720 the number one words that most people want banished for 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.000 twenty twenty six. We're going to tell you right after 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.360 the break. Frankly, you already know what it is, and 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.320 it won't take you long to figure it out, but 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.640 we're going to use this as a tease anyway. Also, 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.199 we'll explain why there's a reason you might have heard 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.520 some of these words and thought, oh, surely that was 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.720 going to go away, that was going to go away. Well, 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:41.800 there's a reason that some words just won't die. We'll 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:54.040 give you some of those examples there. All right, we 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.080 continue here on Amy and TJ. After a terrible tease 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.400 to think that I teased what the number one the 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.640 most annoying word, essentially is that should be banished for 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.200 twenty twenty six. This was an obvious one, was it not. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.040 It certainly was six seven? 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:11.280 Yeah. 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.000 Yeah, And because you even have to say it a 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.920 certain way when you say it makes it even more annoying. 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.679 So yes, a lot of people had some fun with it, 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.600 saying it's time six seven should be eighty six. Yes, 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.319 I think that is a consensus vibe just about everybody 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.000 as the most annoying word of twenty twenty five, so 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.520 no one should be saying it in twenty twenty six. 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.240 The last several times you've heard it, has it been 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.120 from an adult or someone under twenty. 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.960 I've actually heard it more from adults, laughing about the 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.400 fact that they now know what it means, because they 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.280 only found out when it made Word of the Year, 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.320 and then it all made more sense to them, and 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.760 now they're trying to own it, which means it's totally 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.640 passe and completely uncool to say done now, so. 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:53.240 It should be done. 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:59.160 It should be cooked absolutely out of here. This was 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.400 interesting to me. They've been, like we said, they've been 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.760 doing this for fifty years. Some words, right, you put 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.000 it on there, it's supposed to be banished, you would think, okay, 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.520 that's probably done, or a word gets its run. But 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.880 there are several words they have given us over the 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:17.520 years here that have been on the list more than once. 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.240 One of them has been on the list three times 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:26.200 now romes. I'm looking and I see at least one 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.360 of them had a comeback, and the gap was about 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:30.640 thirty something years. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:31.720 It's so funny. 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.720 Most of them were fairly close to each other with 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.840 the number five on the list is a is a 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.560 hilarious one that you would normally think about. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.400 Yep, it reminded me of another one that probably has 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:44.360 made the list before too. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:45.840 But we can get into this. So these are I 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.760 love how they call these repeat. 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.000 Offenders words that refused to stay banished. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:52.280 Number five. 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.240 Should we start with like we did the last Okay, 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.360 hot water heater and you might think, well, what's wrong 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:57.680 with that? 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:00.720 So think about it a little longer. We'll give you 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:01.600 one more second here. 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.320 Hot hot water heater. 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.280 Why would there be a problem with that? 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.280 Just needs to be a water heater because if it's 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.080 hot water, it doesn't need to be heated. 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:12.520 So it makes zero sense. 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.480 So that was a banished word in nineteen eighty two, 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.560 and then somehow it made a resurgence and it came 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.680 back in twenty eighteen. 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:21.960 So it made the list twice. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.200 Someone made the or a point or asked the question, 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:26.640 since when does hot water. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:27.600 Need to be heated? 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:29.880 I always think of that as an ATM machine, because 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.760 I have done that before. ATM stands for automated teller machine. 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.480 What's still so ATM machine is hilarious because you're basically 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:37.440 saying machine machine. 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.840 Well, that's like RBIs in baseball runs batted in. But 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.880 we still a lot of people say RBIs. Yes, I'm 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.240 not mad at you for it. 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:46.920 I get it. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.360 I'm looking for an ATM machine. I am that. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.120 I immediately was like, oh, I might not have said 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:53.520 hot water heater, but maybe I have. 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.040 What about cash machine? I'm still on. 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:57.000 The cash machine? 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:58.960 Yeah, you ever say that a cash machine? 0:15:59.120 --> 0:15:59.160 No? 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:04.240 Okay, ATM machine please? Okay? Number four on the list. 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:05.400 This is funny. 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.760 So this made its debut as a banished word in 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.240 two thousand and nine and then came back again last 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.880 year in twenty twenty five game changer. 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.880 Have you heard that a lot this year or last year. 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.440 I don't know if that is that's a game changer. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:23.640 It's gonna be a game changer. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:24.120 I watch. 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:25.680 I want a lot of watch a lot of sports, 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.880 so maybe. But yeah, that one doesn't bother me so much. 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.560 They said nothing is a game changer, if everything is 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.520 a game changer, the point being it's overused all the time, 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.320 like it's not really a game changer, but we just 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.680 like to say it is because well, yes, so many 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:40.880 of us like to exaggerate. 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:42.080 Number three is one. 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:43.800 I guess we just pick and choose when we get 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.960 annoyed by it because we hear it all the time. Awesome, awesome, Okay, 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.080 it depends on who says it, how they say it. 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.040 Awes and they say it well, yeah. 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.680 Eighty four and then in two thousand and seven, so 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.640 a pretty big gap between those two years. It annoyed 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.880 us all. Number two of it was okay, every ooh. 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.720 Heard this one coming out of my mouth, and it's 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.720 certainly been said a lot in this house, and this 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.280 is the one that made it for three years in 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.359 nineteen ninety nine, in twenty twenty two, and then again 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.560 in twenty twenty four, because it seems like it just 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.040 won't go away at the end of the day. 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.680 Stop, why does that want annoy you so much? 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:34.639 It's just filler. That means nothing. It means it's just 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.040 filler for emphasis. 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.879 At the end of the day. We all see things differently. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.200 Yeah, so they say that that phrase has the unique 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:51.600 distinction of triple banishment. So yes, many people share your 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.919 disdain for that phrase. And number one, this is actually 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.960 a word that I know as a news anchor. 0:17:58.000 --> 0:17:59.120 I think I've said this to. 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.320 You when I when it comes out of my mouth 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:03.639 or out of like go anchor's mouth, I know that 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:08.680 the person has nothing to say because the word is hilarious. 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:13.680 Absolutely nineteen ninety six and twenty twenty three. 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.639 It's just a default. 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:23.160 There's no actual reaction when you just say absolutely, I. 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:24.879 Got nothing, or I wasn't listening to you. 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.520 I don't know what to say. I have no way 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.600 to further the conversation, so I'm just going to say absolutely. 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:38.879 Folks, don't don't just break the bad hapbits, Okay, I should. 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:43.159 I wouldn't say these are overly annoying necessarily to six 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.679 y seven. Yes is, but it's interesting, and they make 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.840 a point. Look, it just it does, it helps us 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.280 learn understand I think it's just fascinating. It's part of 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:55.840 our education and just language evolving, yeah, all over the place. 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.320 So I do think it's cool and I love that 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.280 you pointed it out to me because I had never 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.840
