Anyone who uses the word X should be slapped.

Where X word is a word that is being used just to make someone sound smart, or to "smarten up" a presentation, quote, etc. That is not to say that anyone who uses X word should be slapped, only when they are using it in said circumstances.

If someone normally would say such a word, then it's okay. Most of the time. I am, however, calling for a moratorium on the word synergize becuase it is stupid.

I am also open for other suggestions. Just let it be known that if you use synergize or any etymological cousin thereof, I may slap you with a large herring.
