Ban echo chamber, posttruth, bigly and dadbod

Northern Michigan's Lake Superior State University on Saturday released its 42nd annual List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness.  

The tongue-in-cheek, non-binding list comes from suggestions to the Sault Ste. Marie school. It includes ``you, sir,'' ''focus,`` ''town hall meeting,`` ''historic,`` ''echo chamber,`` ''on fleek,`` ''bigly,`` ''listicle`` and ''get your dandruff up,`` seemingly a substitute for ''dander,`` its hair and skin kin.

 ``Bigly'' also made Merriam-Webster's Top 10 for 2016. President-elect Donald Trump was fond this year of saying ``big league'' but making it sound like ``bigly.''

– Dadbod

– Disruption

– Echo chamber

– 831
