Maybe you just don't know what a vision board is?

You're right, I'm a member of the general public who has never heard the term before.
So I have

  • the general understanding that a "board" is usually a group of individuals with some sort of authority.
  • An unknown adjectival noun "vision". And
  • the present tense verb "outlaws"

The headline could have replaced "vision board" with the word "proposals" used in the first sentence of the article and been more clear. But I feel like the choice may have been a deliberate one to drive clicks. (outlaws -> propose it should be outlawed)

If it's supposed to be this sort of hokey motivational poster, is this really a common term now? Maybe I am too old.

Edit: Very interesting. This term has a definite trend in January (New Year's resolutions?) but the trend only seems to have kicked off around 2011. https://i.imgur.com/SQDyfSS.png

Old confirmed! There are dozens of us!
