'Room 101' was a concept in George Orwell's 1984 where 'subversives' would be taken by the Thought Police and exposed to their biggest fear - the case of hero Winston Smith, it was rats.
It has nothing at all to do with things you want to get rid of - so although the TV concept is great - and so is listing on here (very theraputic!) it is simply the wrong use of the term.
Has anyone added 'pedants' to their list?
Hope not!
