Isn't that a bit much?

Not if you've encountered the dogs that I have. They're a source of Most Annoying Sound, bark at people indiscriminately, and their owners never own up to any responsibility.

I'd ban the phrase winner winner, chicken dinner. It needs to DIE.

Speaking of banning overused stuff, I know I'm a bit late (^_^;;), but

Using "snowflake" as a term of insult.

I can get behind that one. It would cut out a large chunk of my younger brother's choice of topics of conversation. tongue

Hypocrisy, willful ignorance and Double Think. (And yes, I do sort of see the issues with that...)

Still a great "screw depression" song even after seven years.

I'd also ban EA published games if I ran a country.

I thought of two more.

I would ban people tapping their food together the same way they cling drinking glasses. It feels like that joke has wore out its welcome.

I would also ban all the shows about muscle cars, street racing, and all the other such shows that are making the Discovery Channel's name non-indicative.

I like to keep my audience riveted.

I'd ban profit based on ratings. It'll help with [up]'s second point.

I’d ban Fandom Discourse and Character Bashing as a whole. All it does is spread negativity.

People who take pictures of their food and post them on Instagram or something when it doesn't even look that special.

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

Speaking of kids, I would ban the unwritten rule that says kids in fiction, especially TV shows, have to be cynical and sarcastic wise guys.

I would ban combining couples names like they aren't their own individuals something catchy for the headlines.

Like: Branjolina; Benifer; whatever the kids are saying these days (which is not that.)

This extends to things like "Stoup" for Stew/Soup. Dude, if it's thick, it's stew. If it's liquid, it's soup.
