SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – Lake Superior State University has revealed its list of the most misused, overused, and just plain useless words for 2012.
It’s the school’s 38th annual list of banished words and it includes: fiscal cliff, kick the can down the road, double down, job creators/creation, passion/passionate, yolo, spoiler alert, bucket list, trending, superfood, boneless wings and guru.
