Dishonor List Day (Banishment List Day) began as a publicity stunt. New Years Day was chosen because it is known as a ‘slow news day’ and the chances of the stunt gaining traction was greatly increased.
Dishonor List Day is the day Lake Superior State University releases its official list of Words Banished from the Queen’s English for Mis-use, Over-Use and General Uselessness.
The list was first run in 1976.
Each year people from around the world nominated hundred of words and phrases they’re sick of hearing and believe should be purged from the language.
Hundreds of nominations are received each year, and LSSU Public Relations Office staff conduct dozens of news interviews, largely with radio stations throughout North America and sometimes overseas on all major networks, including Cable News Network, Associated Press, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and more.
Additional stunts created to help raise awareness of the university include establishing the mythical Unicorn Hunters and the annual Snowman Burning on the first day of spring.
