The worst keyword on IMDb?
My top nominee: "stand-alone-movie-without-sequel"
Of the millions of titles on IMDb, this could probably be applied to millions.
Please delete this meaningless, useless, unnecessary keyword from the database.

I have to agree.
Outside, Hollywood blockbusters and other very successful commercial films, sequels are nearly inexistent.

Great example.
I'm not a fan of keywords in general, particularly when it's stuff like "twist-ending"

I saw some unsettling keywords on a title right now, quite apart from multiple spoiler ones. It's an old BBC horror anthology show, about a group of kids throwing a party.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0626906/reference/
I've looked, and it seems they might have been a lot older than they appeared in real life, possibly 16. But they all look about 12-14 and appear to be playing it, too.
With that in mind, what does it say about the person who submitted these as keywords? (and I didn't notice a mini skirt, either):
* Girl wears a miniskirt
* girl-with-long-hair
* woman-spanks-a-boy
That's.... pretty disturbing IMO.

I noticed that Col Needham referred to this keyword last year while answering a user question.

Other nominees: “man," “woman," “world" (sometimes, "planet earth" seems accurate, especially in sci-fi titles and some documentaries)
“wrong," “young," and other standalone adjectives without a noun. Used as a modifier, adjectives can be part of a valuable keyword, i.e. young-man, young-couple
Without an noun to modify, standalone adjectives can be interpreted as referring to the title itself, i.e. young-film, wrong-tv-show, etc.
