Overused and underused

Lake Superior State University's Unicorn Hunters has released its annual list of words that are overused or useless and are thus banned. The list includes "Green," "Staycation," "Maverick," "First Dude," "Bailout," and "Game Changer."

In response Wayne State University's Word Warriors released a list of perfectly good words not used enough. Their list includes "cahoots," "charlatan," "galoshes," "obsequious," and "sublime."
