Moist...............I hate that freakin' word. It's useless. Something is either wet or dry.

The closest I could come to a word I'd ban is:  Can't

 ---especially from the mouth of a child. 

But banning any speech still constitutes censorship, which is a step toward tyranny, and I can't abide it.

I would ban the word "the" and watch the world reel as they tried to avoid using it. Ahh, the stench of the darkside. I like it!

Can't think of one. Zee has come closest, and with good reason.

If I had to choose one it would be SIN. It's a concept that has no real meaning but has been used by unscrupulous preachers for millenia to bilk their congregations.

I hate the words "Shut up!" It stabs my heart when I hear parents say it to their kids! Tell them "be quiet" or "hush" or "shut your mouth" or even "kids are to be seen not heard" but not shut up! Gosh I hate that word! Could you imagine the lullaby...... "Shut up little baby don't you cry, mommy's gonna sing you a lullaby!"

I know it stands for two words but I would love to ban PC. That bugs the crap out of me.

"Sick" used in the manner of meaning something "cool."

It isn't cool it means "vomit" and the thought of that disgusts me, no one likes it.

"Gusset" is another word which gives me the willies.
