Lake Superior State University on Sunday released its annual "List of Words and Phrases Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness." The words included "gone missing," "ask your doctor" and many celebrity combined names such as "TomKat" or "Brangelina."

The list has reportedly been compiled since 1976 to attract publicity by the Sault Ste. Marie school in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A total of 16 words or phrases were selected by a university committee from more than 4,500 nominations.

According to AP reports, the list reads like a lexicon of popular culture. One such example is "ask your doctor," which the university called "the chewable vitamin morphine of marketing."

Additionally, the critics piled on the media's practice of combined celebrity names such as "TomKat" or "Brangelina." One said, "It's so annoying, idiotic and so lame and pathetic that it's "lamethetic.'"

Even the real estate agents were also targeted for overuse of "boast."

The list also criticized the use of phrase "gone/went missing" in 2006. "It makes 'missing' sound like a place you can visit, such as the Poconos. Is the person missing, or not?" asked one of the critic.

Additionally, the word for "truthiness," which was popularized by Comedy Central satirist Stephen Colbert was highly criticized by the university. It was selected as the word that best summed up 2006 in an online survey by dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster.

The last few years' words include "show me the money, "erectile dysfunction" and "holiday tree."
