delusions of grandeur Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Literally. The overuse of the word "literally" has become figuratively maddening. Last night a sideline reporter (shocker I know) said that Vick "LITERALLY has his hand in a cup of ice water". You mean as opposed to figuratively "having his hand in a cup of water"? It was one thing when it was just overused as a slang term, but misusing it in a report is literally embarassing to me as a comm major. It's like the equivalent of ending the report with "like, ya know, whatever, just sayin". You are figuratively the worst reporter in the history of chick sideline reporters.

The overuse is still not as annoying as the misuse. "This day literally killed me." Um, no it didn't, you're still breathing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 You're a *communications* major? Ya know, I was going take the high road here and leave you to wallow in your condescending prickishness (because frankly I don't know why I should care what some internet tough guy who doesn't know me thinks)... But it does bother me that some think partisanship and internet anonymity give them reason to personally insult other people in a way that would get them swung on if they said it to their face, all without me provoking you in the slightest. Really more pathetic than insulting that you follow me around with your childish jabs, but nonetheless completely uncalled for when I've been nothing but cordial in my disagreements with you. I assume you were just trying to be cute (feel free to pile it on if you have a real issue with me, or better yet click the ignore button), but you're crossing a line to make this personal and insult someone's education. I would actually be burning mad if if knew you, but it's now abundantly clear that you're just another partisan dick-swinging internet tough guy, so I'll just stick to feeling sorry for you that you have to validate yourself by degrading others on an internet message board. Did I communicate that effectively enough, or do I need to dumb that down for you? If not, here's the cliffnotes version: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cre8tiff Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 the one I've been hearing and ultimately saying myself recently, is "really?REALLY??" does that one come from SNL? or either of these? I had a girlfriend that used to say this all of the time. Are you a petite blonde from California with a penchant for reverse cowboy?
