    5 Reasons Not To Use The Word 'Listicle'

    Such an awful word.

    1. It sounds just a little too much like 'testicle'.

    2. It encourages people to continue using other terrible words, like 'charticle'.

    3. Every time you use it, it makes me furious.

    4. You don't call news articles 'newsicles' or features 'featurticles'.

    5. Seriously, just call it a list.
