That was Lynnie's comment last January 2. Lake Superior State University must have been listening because "epic" made this year's list. The full list of should-be-banned words for 2011:

Epic
Fail (Epic fail as a term also qualifies)
Viral
Wow factor
A-ha moment
BFF
Refudiate
"I'm just sayin'"
Mama grizzlies
"Man up"
Facebook (as a verb)
Google (as a verb)
Backstory
The American people
"Live life to the fullest"
