The ten phrases chosen for Lake Superior State University’s 2022 Banished Words List include
“Wait,what?”, “No worries,” “New normal,” “That being said,” “Circle back,” and
“At the end of the day.”

banished? “No worries, new
normal,” we say.

That being said, we may
phraseologically
still circle back, at the
end of the day.
