This Word Needs to Be Banned from the English Language
Posted by Mitch45 on Wed Jul 2 12:31:24 2025 The word is “shocked”. Also all of its variants, like shockingly, shocking, et al. Nothing is shocking anymore. Anything goes in our society now - men insisting on the right to use womens’ locker rooms and bathrooms, unrepentant bigots winning elected office, police officers getting physically assaulted with no repercussions, criminals being released to walk the streets, and so on.

I can be disturbed about the fact that many Jews support Mamdani but I am not surprised and I am certainly not "shocked".

Re: This Word Needs to Be Banned from the English Language?

Sounds like Syme from 1984, who said "It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words" . . . or you never read that book?
