WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

Have you ever been to someone’s home and they have all the shoes by the front door outside of the house? You should do the same at your house. The University of Houston did a study and found that 39 percent of shoes contained bacteria C. diff (Clostridium difficile). C. diff infections can cause multiple health conditions such as bad diarrhea which can also progress to colon inflammation and further serious health problems, especially if it doesn’t respond to antibiotic treatment effectively. In another study done by the University of Arizona nine different forms of bacteria were found on the bottom of shoes. Good Morning America did a test and found that the bottom of shoes were dirtier than toilet seats.

THE LIST: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

Michigan’s Lake Superior State University has released its 2022 “List of Words Banished From the Queen’s English for Misuse, Overuse & General Uselessness”. Here is this year’s crop — and why they are no longer to be used, effective immediately…

Wait, what? Usually found in text or on social media, this “response to a statement to express astonishment, misunderstanding, or disbelief” is banished for misuse and overuse. (I can guess your reaction. Spare me!)

No worries: Also banished for misuse and overuse, this phrase incorrectly substitutes for “You’re welcome” when someone says “Thank you.” (Because it’s so hard to say “You’re welcome”?)

At the end of the day: Although originally banished in 1999, it persists as an example of an overused synopsis of a conversation or debate, often by politicians and pundits. (But hey, it is what it is…)

That being said: It has been referred to as verbal filler, redundant justification, and pompous posturing. You could simply say “however” or “but” —even “that said”. (So, at the end of the day, if you want to say “that being said” you should stop and think: “Wait, what?”)

Asking for a friend: Banished for misuse and overuse through deceit—because the ‘friend’ is phoney. This cutesy phrase, often used in an attempt at deterring self-identification, isn’t fooling anyone. (It’s a joke, people!)

Circle back: One of the most overused phrases in business, government and other organizations since “synergy”, which was banished in 2002. (So, going forward, no more ‘circling back’?)

Deep dive: The only time to dive into something is when entering a body of water, not going more in-depth into a subject or book. (And wouldn’t ‘dive’ be sufficient? Who dives into something shallow?)

New normal: Overused catch-all for the ways COVID-19 affects humankind. (It’s been 2 years. Is any of this new anymore?)

You’re on mute: With virtual meetings becoming the norm, this unwitting deafening silence happens on both sides of the camera. Banished for overuse and uselessness. (“Hello? Hello?”)

Supply chain: It has become a buzzword, and a scapegoat of everything that doesn’t happen or arrive on time. Banished for overuse. (There are no supply chain issues for overused and irritating words. What would you like to add to the list?)
