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.

Lolocide

NOUN: A term used during a moment of awkwardness or cringing, that could also lead to a certain amount of hilarity. A pun on the term ~ocide, similiar to lolocaust.

"Rafi and Callum making that joke about Rebecca and George when they were there was pure lolocide!"
