1. this one has the most truthiness to it:
SEARCH -- Quasi-anachronism. Placed on one-year moratorium.

"Might as well banish it. The word has been replaced by 'google.'" -- Michael Raczko, Swanton, Ohio

6. Perhaps, if it stays in the news

8. I'd like them to ban "Git R Done" and "Let's Roll", although -
maybe they did that in a previous year.
