People who make metaphors or speak figuratively… and then put the word “literally” before it!
On the radio this morning, a DJ said, “David Bowie is literally a musical chameleon”. No, if he were * literally * a musical chameleon, he’d be a guitar-playing lizard.
Not too long ago, I heard another DJ say, talking about some actress, “After she made that movie, she literally exploded”. Now, if she * literally * exploded, I’m sure it would do wonders for her films, but she wouldn’t be making any new ones.
Yeah. That’s annoying. Although I don’t hear it too much up here in norcal. My pet peeve is “hella”. IT took me three months to ween my last girlfriend off that one. It’s OK when uused sparingly, but if one more dj is “hella tight” or one more party is “hella off the hook” I think I’m going to “hella puke”
It’s just cause I’d never heard the word effulgent 'till last week on Buffy where it featured (and I like to consider my vocabulary quite wide). Odd coincidence, eh?
And I have no clue who Sufi is. Stomp out ignorance and enlighten me?
Ignorance and carelessness together, a fearsome thing to behold or have to listen to!!
As the Lord mentioned [HA! THAT sounds odd, doesn’t it??], 'irregardless, is irritating but, my bad, using ‘like’ before EVERY word the person says. Using ‘go’ instead of said, replied, or responded, as in ; ‘Well, then Jimmy asks do I like wanna go to the store, and I go, ‘sure’ like I’m cool with that!’ Arghhhhh!! Shoot before it reproduces itself!!
ummm… are you ok rasa? Seems you had a bit of a mental hicup there.
Sufi is not a person. It’s a religion. The sufi poet I’m quoting is Hafiz, from around the 13th century. One of the most famous of the sufi poets. He had a very distinctive style.
