Every year since 1976, Lake Superior State University has its compilation of choices that are to be banned for the entire incoming year. More than 1,000 everyday terms have made it onto the list. Some of the terms included:, - GOAT (the acronym for Greatest Of All Time) - Inflection point - Gaslighting - Quiet quitting - Moving forward - Does that make sense? - It is what it is. For its list, Lake Superior State University judges reviewed more than 1,500 submissions before coming up with their top ten.
