>examples from which they learn would be shorter. As a result they would become less verboten very quickly.

I'm definitely going to use this definition of 'verboten' from now on. I like your style. Fuck the dictionary!

To help keep everyone out of a "What is that freaking word? I know it but can't think of it!" loop, the word he meant to use was verbose.

Also, to save you the work:

  ver·bo·ten
  forbidden, as by law; prohibited.

Also, verboten is a german word possessed of a slightly antagonistic quality when placed in english speech. This is why it amused me so much.
Obviously I meant "verbose" :-p LOL
