COVID-19 is at the top of the 2021 Banished Words List from Lake Superior State University. Faculty at the university in Michigan say that shouldn t be a surprise to anyone, and seven of the top ten this year are connected to it, including “we’re all in this together, In an abundance of caution,”and “In these uncertain times.”
The Banished Words List committee says it has reflected signs of the times since debuting in the mid-1970s, and the zeitgeist this year is: We’re all in this together by banishing expressions like ‘We’re all in this together.’ To be sure, COVID-19 is unprecedented in wreaking havoc and destroying lives. But so is the overreliance on ‘unprecedented’ to frame things, so it has to go, too.”
