This is super annoying.

I mean, are we in some sort of American college? In the 80s?

Why? When did the word 'really' become illegal?

If I hear "I'm super busy" one more time, I will fuck shit up.

Is it just me?

God I hope not.

Yikes

The general inflation of language is to blame, I think.

Example:

A child pokes yours with a pencil in Reception.

The incident is duly reported as your child being 'stabbed'.

A fire in a BIFFA red bin is inflated to a conflagration by the media.

Ergo I am really busy inflates to super busy.

That's my theory.

[tethersend]

Could they not use 'incredibly'?

Anyone who uses 'super' in this way can only be 'super busy' with being a twat. It must be exhausting.

[VictorianIce]

I think we should all say 'jolly' more.

I am jolly busy.
You are jolly annoying.
He's been jolly well stabbed.

That sort of thing.

VictorianIce - I for one would love to see a clothing range with Jolly Dry on it. Although I think Really Dry or Incredibly Dry would work equally well (maybe that last one should be a range of sanitary towels).

[tethersend]

I jolly well love you both.

[MrsColumbo]

Super!
