On Writing : Words. by Lauren Hackney

Hey Authors and Playwrights,

I'm slowly compiling a list of words that I would now like to see removed from the dictionary.

My favourite today is the word 'unpack'.

I miss those carefree days of my 20's where this word was to describe settling into a holiday or coming home from a holiday.

Now.

I've heard it TWICE this week in a work environment and it's only TUESDAY!

'We need to UNPACK this in the next meeting' and 'can we UNPACK this together with the client?'

Instead of preparing for these meetings, I'm now dreaming of my travelling days in my 20's. This is some depressing s$%t.

Anyone out there want any words deleted from the dictionary?!?!
