If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

Gosh… banning a word from general usage! This should be an easy answer. There is one word my niece is constantly saying because she doesn’t know what else to say. Anytime we ask her what she’s up to she will say ‘nothing.’ It is frustrating the amount of times I have heard this word from this girl. It is almost as bad as the other ‘b’ word boring.

She clearly has not had to deal with life as I and my brothers and cousins did. She doesn’t know how good she has it in her life even with divorce and what all she has endured from two extremely different families. Other than those words I can’t imagine banning words.
