The European Union has banned the use of the word "magnificent" in the name of the European Union. The European Union also banned use of "pensioner" as a term of end-of-year celebration.

The EU's ban on the word was imposed after a petition by the European Parliament called for it to be removed from the internet. The petition also called for an end to the European Commission's decision to ban the word in the first place, saying it was in violation of the EU's charter.
