Ban

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

My first thought is ban. Ban is the word I would ban. We’re constantly attempting to ban books, ban speech, ban anyone “othered” by society. Let’s just quit banning things that make us uncomfortable. After all, how else will we recognize good from evil, truth from lies? It’s impossible to be certain you disagree with someone, or something, unless you’re willing to really hear what’s being said. Even if it’s vile and disgusting. At least then, you can know that for sure.
