FORBIDDEN PHRASES: Do Not Type Them!

cyoa014.jpgRecently, the phrase “my bad” was used unironically in the Daily Heights Forums, prompting an emergency investigation to identify other potentially-typeable phrases that are clearly outside the limits of good taste and proper online expression. To date, phrases banned on Daily Heights include, but are not limited to:

“Don’t go there” (Obvious!)

“I am so ____” as in, “I am so loving this discussion about Home Heating Oil!!

“Yeah!” said in three syllables, with the accent on the first, so as to suggest “no duh” in response to an obvious statement by another party (admittedly, it would be difficult to type this… if you were to defy the ban, it would probably look something like this: “YEah-uh!”)

-Referring to anyone as “dog” or “dawg”

More forbidden phrases will be posted as they come to our attention. Thank you for your patience during this difficult time of transition!

Special note: Daily Heights is seeking an injunction to enforce Internet-wide bans on the phrases “A ______ grows in Brooklyn” and “If you ______ it, they will come.” To shield your publication from future liability, please discontinue use of these phrases, effective today. Thank you!
