    Sorry to find that I could only vote once, with so many undeserving slang words listed. The test for dictionary inclusion used to be whether a word could be used by an anchorman on the evening news.

    Another really annoying word...man cave. One of those ridiculous terms that only real estate agents can appreciate.

    Wish I could have voted for more than one, because "Gamechanger", a lazy, trite phrase used by journalists with less than stellar credentials or skill, and "Bucket List", from a cute movie, that is suddenly everywhere, from grocery items to skydiving routines, both make my skin curl. Never do I want to hear these phrases again - let alone have them legitimized in a dictionary.
