More things you can't say.

January 30, 2003 1:05 PM

While we are discussing what we can and cannot say on Metafilter, here's an updated list of phrases that are also supposed to be retired... MATERIAL BREACH, MUST-SEE TV, UNTIMELY DEATH, BLACK ICE, ON THE GROUND, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, HOMELAND SECURITY, EXTREME, NOW MORE THAN EVER, BRANDING, HAVING SAID THAT and THAT SAID, PEEL-AND-EAT SHRIMP, CHALLENGE, IT’S A GOOD THING, AS PER, REVERSE DISCRIMINATION, THERE IS NO SCORE, GOT GAME, MENTAL MISTAKE, ____ IN COLOR, and UNDISCLOSED SECRET LOCATION. I suggest you print out a list and keep it close to you at all times, lest you stumble into censorable or passé territory.

emphasis on the word "updated," PG. The previous post discusses last year's list.

Should I post a MetaTalk thread about this thread, just to come full circle, or would that be too Oroborousian of me?
