"Bee-keeping, Welding, and being on the Bomb Squad, would suck tremendously"

If nudism were made mandatory, what would be the best or worst changes to daily life?

Uh, I live in Alaska

Naked people cooking your food in restaurants. And if you're the chef, imagine the splashes and grease burns.

Strippers would lose their jobs. Shame really, where else will they go?

Worst: everyone sees your small wiener
Best: everyone else's wieners are small too.

Worst: driving home when your car seats and seat belts were in the sun all day.

I'd say hugging family members would become a bit strange.

"Time Magazine Apologizes For Including 'Feminist' In 2015 Word Banishment Poll"

"Time Magazine has apologized for including the word “feminist” in its annual list of words to ban for the new year. Nancy Gibbs, the magazine’s managing editor, penned an apology that is included as an editor’s note above the article:"

Time apologizes for the execution of this poll; the word ‘feminist’ should not have been included in a list of words to ban. While we meant to invite debate about some ways the word was used this year, that nuance was lost, and we regret that its inclusion has become a distraction from the important debate over equality and justice.

“Feminist” was nominated along with words like “bae,” “basic,” “disrupt,” “kale,” “bossy” and “turnt,” among others, with humorous explanations of the words. Previous castoffs have included OMG, YOLO and twerk. "Feminist" has since been removed from the poll."

Here's a word I'd like banned: "apologize." http://t.co/LiIayPwBAw

Do they have a word for that?

"The relationship between words and their meaning is a fascinating one, and linguists have spent countless years deconstructing it, taking it apart letter by letter, and trying to figure out why there are so many feelings and ideas that we cannot even put words to, and that our languages cannot identify."
