    Obviously it should be banned. Men with tiny penises misuse it to appear butch. Inuit

      I see that only 3 of the 9 shown are actually a (single, real) word.

      Of course, Time Magazine could ban a word (for just a year? really?) and I would never notice.

        Why don't we have some fun? Do you think, if we mobilize the entire Civ community (+ everyone else we know), we could have them ban the word 'Russian'? ... or maybe 'congress'?
        What about 'time'?
        And how long is this poll running for?

          I'd much rather get them to ban something like the or of.

                I would like a ban on "terrorist".

                        "feminist" is losing ground. Down to only 48%.

                          I believe this qualifies as 'successful troll.'

                              I just looked up "bae"

                              I'm changing my vote to that
