Similar to "Book Burning", it is when a word is no longer liked by a group of people and they decide it should no longer be used. Often used when a word is considered "negative" even though it is accurately used by its definition. The intention and the way a person is using it may be what is not liked but it is the word that is cancelled.
"Retarded" means less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age. But some people use it as a derogatory term so we are no longer allowed to use the words "Retard" or "Retarded". Those words have been burnt. We are practicing "word burning".

The last word in a discussion or argument is when two parties are competing to be the one to speak last. Last word is only won by the way it is started. If originated in person it can only be won in person, if originated over a verbal phone call then it can only be won over a verbal phone call. If originated in a text message it can only be won in a text message.
