The Lake Superior State University(LSSU) recently banished the word “awesome” from its dictionary. This is part of its whimsical idea to do away with overused, misused and abused words.
As someone who takes the English language seriously, this announcement intrigued me. And as I meditated seriously on the disastrous consequences and the lethal impact of such an announcement on the world at large, my dad met an unassuming medical representative at his clinic. Enthused to promote his product, the salesman used the very same banished adjective in a different avataar. He said, ” Saar, You should try the combination of rabeperzole and domperidone for the patient. It is simBLY AAVISOME ”
AAVISOME BORN!
P.S They also banished blog and all forms of the word blog. But who cares anyway? Let’s banish LSSU. What say???
