GIST: 5 Words we don't want to hear in 2017

We all love slangs and new
words but after some time
the novelty wears out.
Sadly, people still hold on
to these words until the
coolness has been totally
killed in them.
2016 had its fair share of annoying
words that haunted us in real life
and in social media. Enough is
enough! These words should not be
allowed into 2017. Please!

1) Woke
Access to the Internet apparently
made a lot of people feel very
enlightened this year. The word
'woke' came out of thin air to
describe these so-called really smart
people who have an enlightened
view on everyday topics. The word
has been so abused right now that it
has become a bore and everyone is
now using it.

2) Slay
This is another eye-rolling word.
Please, let us agree to keep this
word in 2016 and not bring it into
the New Year. Bloggers have sapped
the fun out of this word. Everyone
these days now slays even clear
fashion disasters.

3) Lit
We don't need this word to
crossover. Let us have fun at events
without calling it lit. The word is too
mainstream now and it's no longer
a cool word to say. You will be
judged if you utter this word in
2017.

4) Bae
Honestly, there should be a new
word to describe your significant
other. Bae has been around for two
years now and it has overstayed its
welcome. It has been ridiculed and
made fun of but we are still holding
on to it. Don't be scared, let it go
and find a better word in 2017.

5) Feminism
Really should this word make it into
2017? So many Twitter feminists
abused the word that the
importance of it is lost on many
these days. Maybe the movement
needs a new name or a cool
abbreviation.
