Words that you would like banned from ATS

Ok...I am going to try VERY VERY hard to make sure you guys understand that this is in FUN

Here are words I am tired of

ad hominem
ad nauseum
strawman

I think people like cool-sounding or latin words because they think it makes them sound smarter

also...

sheeple - What makes me laugh here is that CTers who blindly follow a CT with little evidence will call a debunker this...
dis-info - the second you disagree...BAM you are a disinfo agent
agent (unless speaking about a gov't agent)

What words do you guys notice that annoy you?

-Kyo

Not exactly a word, but WND.com needs to be banned from this site, it's like using the national enquirer as a source.

Democrat, Republican, Bi-partisan, GOP, DNC, RNC, Donkey, Elephant, Congress, Supreme Court of the United States, President of the United States, House of Representative, Senate, Obama, McCain, Pelosi, Palin, Government, Legislation, O'Riley, Hannity, Glenn Beck, Ben Bernanke, Rahm Emmanuel, etc etc etc.

It would probably in all honesty take me a week to compile a suitable banlist of words, and even then people would invariably misspell the words intentionally to get around it just like they do with certain words now.

........AGENDA.........


that is all..

oooh...Agenda...good one

also I am adding 'awake'

It's like an insult wrapped up in a nice word. Basically if you disagree you must be asleep (aka ignorant) as opposed to the possibility that Mr Awake could indeed be wrong

that isn't possible though

-Kyo

dis-info - the second you disagree...BAM you are a disinfo agent

I agree with dis-info agent as well, Infact i got accused of being a dis-info agent not long ago

..Don't think they hire 17yr old's tbf :shk:

HAARP


*ducks and covers*

'Military Industrial Complex.' Used to death.

'Shoving down our throats.' Used to death.

Like someone else said, 'Agenda.' Unfortunately, it's the best term for what we need to describe sometimes. I often use it myself.

'[Anything]-phobic.' Just because you disagree does not mean you are fearful or hateful.

'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' One exclamation point is sufficient.

'100% PROOF!' Self explanatory.

Indigo child..
Reptilian, (unless making a David Icke reference)

more pending....

YES NOXIE! I am so ashamed I didn't think of that first...well done

PS....HAARP was responsible for the message you just posted...and the sneeze I just had

Also yeah as posted above liberals and conservatives. I love that people think evil only exists on the other side of the fence...would that I could show them a mirror

-Kyo

Fundies! gets on my nerves!

Indigo
Vibration
Auras
Crystals
Frequency
Ascension
Harmony

And these words when used in conjunction:

I
Am
An
Alien.

Bout time someone did this thread, you pretty much got it covered.

I don't care much for the word "sphagnum" but it doesn't really apply on ATS.... just thought Id share.

But there's a lot of sphagnum in Saskatchewan...

Two more words..Blossom and Goodchild...

TBTB

Agenda

Strawman

Indigo Child

Galactic Federation of Light

I would say disinfo agent, but I use that as an indicator that someone has no comebacks left and resorts to accusation

It would also be nice not to have to see this on someones title to their thread..

OMG..LOOK....

Right there I know I will be disappointed, hasn't failed yet..:shk:
