'With the fastball!' Never mind 'bossy,' Pat Sajak would like to ban these words

That he is.

@patsajak @michellemalkin I triple dare you to use ‘bossy’ on the next edition of Wheel of Fortune!

Snicker. Will he? Stay tuned!

The “Wheel of Fortune” host took to Twitter to mock the ludicrous #BanBossy campaign launched by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. But he went one better with snark-suggestions for other words that should be “banned.”

Zing!

Fellow Twitter users offer up some other ideas as well.

@patsajak At this point, 'isthmus' is so offensive on its own that we should ban both it and the phrase 'the "i" word.'

Snort. But wait, perhaps an unintended consequence?

@patsajak But, what will poor Panama be, if we ban isthmuses??

Oh dear.

Yes please.

@patsajak I would also like to #ban the word #craycray.isn't this movement #bossy what with trying to tell me what I can and can't say?

@patsajak THROW in 'Bieber', 'Lohan' and 'Ga Ga' and you got a deal.

We’d like to suggest “pivot” as well.

Can we add “at the end of the day” and “national dialogue” to that list?

Endorse!

On the plus side, the #BanBossy absurdity may lead to a new “Wheel of Fortune” puzzle.

@patsajak @ppockras how about a wheel of fortune before and after:
