My addition to the banned word list...

[The Doctor]

"Hunker down"

If I hear one more person down here use the phrase "hunker down"... :flame:

More hurricanes. More hunkering. Florida and I grow weary of "hunkering". Just blow us away already so no one has to say hunker.

[G.]

Simmer down, Doc!

:p

(hope all is well)
