If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

I would not ban any words from any language, ever. I am not a Language Nazi.

People should learn that words have power, words hurt, and words heal. People should learn when to say or write what to whom, when and where. Banning language does not prevent people from using language, and in fact simply adds to language power.

Only Nazis ban language. Think for yourself. Grow up!
