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. |
