Erika Dykstra

On January 1, 2007, Lake State released the 32nd annual List of Words Banished from the Queens English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness.  Included in the list this year are words such as: gitmo, awesome, PWN/PWNED, were pregnant, undocumented alien, ask your doctor, and now playing in theaters.  Also included in the list are combined celebrity names. Bragelina, TomKat, and Bennifer, there is not one day that goes by where at least one of them are mentioned in the news. For a complete list of the banished word list visit www.lssu.edu/banished/
On January 8, 2007, on Comedy Centrals, The Colbert Report, Stephan Colbert featured Lake Superior State University on Whos attacking me now?.  On Colberts very first episode he coined the word truthiness and is now upset that it appears on the banished word list.  He believes that sour grapes and attention starved second tier state university should be given a chance on the list.  If you have not yet seen this clip, you can watch it on Comedy Centrals homepage. So until next year, check out this years banished word list and according to the website gitmo chipotle-flavored eggnog, curl up with an undocumented alien, and cut-and-run to the 2007 list. It wont be coming to a theater near you
