Watching television and YouTube programming (esp. about cars & such), it is striking how such communications are so lacking in proper or creative adjectives.
If you eliminated the word, "cool" and "like" the dialog would be cut in half. Does "cool" meaning anything other than "slightly better than average"?
I am nauseated by the constant use of, "perfect," "awesome," "bad-ass," and "dope." Buy a ******* thesaurus, please.
Many things are "extraordinary," but very few are "unique." If something is "excellent," or "outstanding," then say that; it's not an insult.
"Literally" means literally. "Figuratively" means you are drawing an analogy. "Literally" is constantly used when it is clearly not the case.
How can the server tell me that my selection from the Menu is "perfect"? I hear it all the time. What exactly does it mean? Perfect for me? Perfect for the chef? Perfect for her?
At least she didn't tell me it was "groovy." She might have done so a generation (or two) ago.
