Forbidden Phrases

When I was a child, I used to describe everything as nasty or annoying. (Or at least that is what my mother said.) So those words were forbidden in our house. (I should have added nice to that list since according to my mom everything is nice.)

Now as a mentor, I have generated my own list of forbidden phrases:

Thanks, dear.
Yo, qq. (That's quick question).
LAME!
Why don't you do it this way? I'm going to suggest that to XXXX.

I know there is more. But I think I am consciously trying to block them.

I don't have any banned words per se but I sure do hate the following:

LOL
Hold (w/o a please in there)
per se

I wasn't allowed to say "gosh" because it sounded too much like "god". This coming from the woman who said my dad was going to hell for having a beer...
