FIVE WORDS….Five words I hope to hear a lot less of after November 4th:

acorn
right
airs
moose
bush

These are, of course, all perfectly ordinary words that have done nothing to deserve criticism. But life is unfair. I still don’t want to hear them. Feel free to leave other candidates in comments.
