They've Been Banished

There's some think-tank at a university in Michigan that looks at how we use language and puts together a list of words they don't want used anymore because they've been overused or whatever.

Their list for 2011:

Viral.
Epic.
Fail.
"back-story."
Facebook and Google when used as verbs.

Consider yourselves warned and let's be vigilant out there, kids.

If I Facebook and then Google it, will this phrase go viral if I use all of these words in an epic sentence, or will it fail when I have to back-story the tale?

(it was too easy not to do.)
