Re: Modern adjectives you hate
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] The use of 'literally' when they mean 'metaphorically', as a device to emphasise your statement. It pisses me off, and if used, you should have the thing in question done to you. 'He literally kills me...' - BLAM! [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. I see this a lot. For some reason, newscasters seem addicted to it. "The crowd is so big, the stadium is literally exploding!" "That answer literally blew him away!" WTF? They're just words; learn how to use them. [/ QUOTE ] David Cross does a bit on this that's literally the funniest thing ever. |

[ QUOTE ] Anytime someone says "chillax" I get the urge to commit a felony. [/ QUOTE ] I would love nothing more than to "chillax", Amanda. [/ QUOTE ] This is authentic vernacular? I assumed it was invented for that episode. |

Re: Modern adjectives you hate
Yeah verbing bugs me too. It almost always seems cheesy or somehow grates on the ear.
I've heard the scrapbooking one before, and that one always struck me as stupid too. Business in the 80's and 90's was coining cheesy new words at a really quick clip, and it became popular to apply them outside the business world. They did lots of grotesque verbing there. |

Re: Modern adjectives you hate

Obviously there is always new lingo out there and new adjectives like "that's so chill." What is the one you hate the most? Mine is legit. "What'd you think of that party?" "It was legit..." HATE IT. [/ QUOTE ] literally ANY term that is widespread used, and slang. for example, cool, i always use it when i talk, if i can't think of a more imaginative synonym, but if im on messenger, i feel stupid typing it our explicitly. i usually say something like exellent, bodacious, or bangin' i.e, that party last night was bangin'! |

Re: Modern adjectives you hate
I got a chuckle seeing you say that using and typing out bodacious and bangin' don't make you feel as stupid as doing the same with cool.
