If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
What a vapid word, Abused, misused, With no clear meaning. *** A generic catch all, For those who don't, Agree with your thinking. *** I have found those, Who throw it around, Are just questioning themselves. *** If you've no argument, But to accuse another of being woke, Then you have lost your debate. *** So if I could ban a word, It would be woke, A word with no reason for existing.
