New clichés that should be banned

John Rentoul in The Independent:

It is a while since I published 'The Banned List', my book about verbiage to be avoided, yet new horrors are invented or brought to my attention every week by public-spirited people who are here to help you. Here are 10 of the worst recent examples…

6. Wrap-around To describe anything other than packaging. From Dan Fox.

7. Innocent children As opposed to complicit children, about whom we are indifferent.

8. Sneak preview It's invariably just a preview. Thanks to Mike Higgins. Worse is “sneak peek”. And worst of all is “sneak peak”.
