Banished Words
Current 2007 List
One of the banished words is "truthiness" popularized by Stephen Colbert. Ironically, that word was selected as the word that best summed up 2006 in an online survey by dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster.
One of the most interesting words on that banished list is "undocumented alien."
