Word ban

Okay (I'm bored, casually half-watching 'I, Robot' on Sky and half-browsing the net) so here's a question for tonight. If you could ban certain words from BCF (on account of them being over-used) what would they be, and why?

1. Repost. Yes, okay, someone posted a link to the same video five months ago and it's listed on Page 17 of 'Funny Stuff' under the not-at-all-ambiguous title of "This made me laugh!". Repost police can kiss my arse! Razz

2. Owned (aka pwned). Was popular with geeky internet chavs five years ago. Time moves on. Get over it, and please cease with conversations that consist purely of people saying "Haha owned" every thirty seconds. Rolling Eyes

3. Gammamanuk. This seems to pop up far too often and serves no sensible purpose.

(tongue firmly in cheek!)

"I"

"The"

"Bike"

Would be good to see how long we could go without those for.

"Ignorant". Nobody uses it in its proper context, and consequently, every time they misuse that word they are abusing the english language in much the same way as the london protesters abuse the rights granted to them by the country Smile

"for the win"

at the end of the day it's used far too much, making it sound like the forum are populated by gamer n00bs

On the screen where you upload your avatar, it details the size allowed and a few other restrictions. I don't know why it lets you upload avatars that don't meet the requirements, but it does. If you don't take it down, someone else will for you. Please don't start a thread asking why.

As for words I would ban, most of the above. I'm going to add "is your friend" as it's recently approached the same levels of annoyance to me as "for the win".
