A bar in New York has banned the use of the word 'literally' in it's premises.

The Continental bar says the word is “the most overused, annoying word in the English language.”

A sign displayed warns that those who “say the word ‘literally’ inside Continental you have 5 minutes to finish your drink and then you must leave.

If you actually start a sentence with ‘I literally’ you must leave immediately!!!”

Which word would you love to ban if you  could?
