Top 5 banned words and phrases in my book:

Warfighter - Used, subtly, to differentiate the "real" boots-on-the-ground soldier from everyone else, despite the fact that the former can't do without the latter.
Paradigm - Buddy can you par a digm? You're only allowed to use this if you can explain what it means, other than "thingamajig".
Weaponized - People who use this instead of "armed" get spankingized.
Game-changing - Marketeer-speak for "I am spouting complete bull".
5th-generation - Sort of made sense for the Russkies, who invented this description for their fighters in the 80s-90s, but has now been mangled into something that makes as much sense as "the ultimate driving machine".
