Back before he invented The Simpsons and joined the 1%, Matt Groening was less-famous as the author of a comic strip called Life In Hell, which was almost solely responsible for my surviving the 1990s. Every December, as part of that strip (which is apparently still running somewhere on the planet), Groening publishes his "forbidden words" for the upcoming year. As an homage, I hereby present my own (hopefully annual) list:
Shit Of Which I Have Officially Become Sick This Year
1. Question mark headlines
2. Attempts to reclaim the word 'slut'
3. The Stocking Cap Look
4. Any "celebrity" anywhere "opening up about" anything
5. "Rocking" as a synonym for "wearing"
There will be more. Oh, yes. There will.
Meanwhile, let's hear yours.
