This article is "troublesome" and will disclose English words that some people think should be banned. If you don't like it, don't read it.

The Associated Press reported that "fiscal cliff" received the most nominations and is the word that should be banned.

The fiscal cliff refers to the fact that if the U.S. Congress fails to take measures, comprehensive tax increases and expenditure cuts will automatically start next year, and the economy may suffer a huge impact. The media uses this word too often, and you can’t even watch the news without wanting to hear it.

Lake Superior State University in Michigan released the 38th annual "List of misused, abused and generally useless words that should be banned". Spoiler alert, kick the can down the road, trending and bucket list are all listed.

This non-binding, tongue-in-cheek list is based on words that people in the United States, Canada and elsewhere have suggested should be banned.

"Be careful when entering" reminds readers or viewers that the following content will mention the key plots of TV series or movies. However, this seemingly thoughtful word has been used too often for many people.

Proponents of the ban believe that thunder warnings "are used to warn someone about disclosing trivial information. It is offensive to use this word anyway."

Other words on the list include "superfood", guru, "job creators" and double down.
