I'd never heard of Lake Superior State University's annual list of banished words, but apparently it's a thing and they just revealed the 2021 edition. These phrases were overused in 2020, and frankly they should be retired from our vocabulary.

10. I know, right?
9. Sus
8. Karen
7. Unprecedented
6. Pivot
5. In these uncertain times (any variation of)
4. In an abundance of caution (any variation of)
3. We're all in this together
2. Social distancing
1. COVID-19
