Thanks to Stephen Thompson for finding out that "awesome" was a banned word back in 2007.
Here is the link, and here is an excerpt:
AWESOME -- Given a one-year moratorium in 1984, when the Unicorn Hunters banished it "during which it is to be rehabilitated until it means "fear mingled with admiration or reverence; a feeling produced by something majestic." Many write to tell us there's no hope and it's time for "the full banishment."
