lingocide

Destruction of Standard American English with bastardized silly made up words. Fo'shizzy. Should be punishable by Sister Mary Catherine using a ruler on your knuckles and at least some time incarcerated.

Heaving moobs and a sweaty lip, Jason glanced about slit-eyed, hunched down and committed the lingocide, furtively, deliberately.

logocide

To kill a word, by misuse, overuse, or, like, just, like, whatever.

I always liked the word 'like'. It indicated positive feelings about someone or something, signified similarity. But when the formerly articulate Jon Stewart, in the first episode of his new show, said "And I'm like, what?" in a stream of verbiage strewn with meaningless 'likes', it was a sign that 'like' had suffered the final act of logocide, as if the dying word, zombified, had finally infected every last logocidal person, regardless of age, education, you know, and I'm like, damn.

linguicide

Used in linguistics, Speakers of a language start to use another language to the point where it starts to be used in the home and/or the next generation or subsequent generations do not learn the language. When the last speaker of a language dies so does the language. That language can never be heard again in a natural setting.

In California alone, linguicide is committed yearly. It's such a shame!

Lenocide

The absolute destruction of modern mainstream comedy as we know it.

Jay Leno exhibited tendencies of Lenocide when he tore The Tonight Show out of the deserving hands of his vastly superior and irrefutably funnier successor, Conan O'Brien.

Linkicide

The (usually unintentional) killing of Link in the Nintendo console game "Legend of Zelda".

"In Wind Waker I fell from a great height and commited Linkicide! Now I have to start from the last save point."
