    I have decided to embrace the new age of censorship that lays before us. In that spirit I am compiling a list of words that need to be banned and I will then forward them to the relevant authorities. I think we should start with the obvious ones like moist and cocoon. What else?

    It's a useful word in certain situations. Like when someone's being a cunt.

    No words should be banned, imo. Limiting peoples vocabularies is just another form of control. Try expanding the scope of your own mental capacity, instead of trying to limit and control others. People who get offended by particular words should take a hard look at their own lack of tolerances of others.

    It perfectly describes some people. Rather than ban it you should be given a finite number of them to use when , and only when, it's warranted.

    Hater : nonsense word that gets used and abused ,when one criticises or argues a view that may be unpopular , especially of that view is an informed one .

    Salty : do I really need to explain that one ?

    There’s a plethora of words that should be not used in sports, especially American sports commentary eg “greatest of all time” , “best ever” ,”my top 10” .... often referring to sports people that have done little to merit the accolades /or such achievements aren’t seriously assessed or the quality of their opponents . UFC and especially Joe Rogan is a hoor for it . Likewise NBA coverage ,it’s hard to listen to

    I agree, sometimes it's the only word that will do. The last time I called someone a cúnt was when a young woman who was busy texting while driving around a busy roundabout came close to ploughing me down at at a pedestrian crossing, she was incensed that I used the word.

    Are we all agreed on 'Banter' so?..

    Can we mobilise the Twitter mob to move forward with it?..

    We could say it's cultural appropriation..
