“If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?”

I can’t pick one because it depends on the latest buzzword that’s trending or the latest trending social media word. Whenever a word is repeated over and over by numerous people as a trend, I just want to throw the word out of the language. For example when everyone was using the word “demure,” I wanted to scream and throw the word out of existence. This happens every time everyone around me is stuck on a word or a term.
