The following expressions are stupid and should not be used:
- multipolar (in political contexts)
- Global South
- color revolutions
- settler colonialism
- -phobia (outside of a psychiatrist’s office)
It’s embarrassing to employ such language unironically.
Also, it’s time to retire the expression “teaching critical thinking” because it has come to mean “raising mindless drones who stupidly repeat slogans.”
And “work-life balance.” Somebody make that one go away already.
What other words and expressions should take a rest for a while or forever?
