It seems every year there some new "words" people start using, even if they're not words at all. This is a list of "words" you should stop using, immediately.

Lake Superior State University in Sault Saint Marie, Michigan releases a list every year of words that need to be BANNED, based on thousands of nominations from people around the world.

They released their list of words that need to go in 2015 yesterday .

Here are some of their best picks.

1. "Bae" . . . it's either an acronym that means "before anyone else" or just a shorter version of the word "baby." Either way, it was easily number one.

2. "Polar vortex."... in reality, I think people are just sick of the cold.

3. "Hack" . . . specifically how it's overused now, where any tip, advice, or shortcut is referred to as a "hack."

4. "Skill set."

5. "Swag."

6. "Foodie."

7. "Cray-cray."

8. "Nation" . . . as a suffix referring to sports teams. Like "Cubs nation," "Packers nation" and so on.
