    My daughter's elementary school always gives each "graduating" class a name. My older daughter's class of 2012 was "FBI: Fifth (Grade) Bureau of Investigation." This year, my younger daughter's class of 2016 is "SWAG."

    She digs it.

    fleek may be the worst word of the lot.

    low-hanging fruit should be nixed. although im guilty bc i remember saying it once and its ridiculous.

    nixed should probably be used more.

    This video should help and it's not a word.


    This video is one reason why you will find lots of references to eyebrows when attempting to find a definition or explanation.

    It's a word now. The dictionary has added fleek as one of the 100 new words in the newest edition. Don't dare challenge me if I use it in Scrabble

    the 'dictionary' has been invalid for quite some time. one of the worst for me was when they added yolo and amazeballs.

    we just have to use common sense from here out.

    So is it a buzzword if a percentage of the population don't know the word? Or are we the percentage defined as stupid?
