The Overuse of SUPER

I am so tired of the use of SUPER to describe everything lately. It's just so annoying!!! This goes along with LITERALLY too! 😒

I'll add mine: Everyone is: beautiful today.

I don't watch QVC, so nothing they say irritates me.

I do watch videos of something I'm considering, but that's just a few seconds.

LITERALLY is the one that I seem to hear over and over and over again.

To Super and Literally, I'll add Elevated, Gorgeous, So Fun,Fabrication, and Sick (from Shawn K.). I wish also that the hosts would stop saying The Proof is in the Pudding. The expression is "The proof of the pudding is in the eating". Not in the pudding, people. In the eating of it.

I'm "obsessed" with all the previous "iconic" posts! And I seldom watch QVC live.

@Puppy Lips Kids do it too....The other day, my 6 year old granddaughter didn't like what she was having for dinner....Her comment was "Actually"...that is "Literally" impossible for me to eat. 😄

@Mombo1 Sounds like my granddaughter when she was young and a teen. She used "actually" and "literally" constantly. Now she is an adult in the medical profession and no longer speaks this way.

I realized when the sayings were standing out to me and getting repetitive, I was watching WAY too much QVC.

Solved it by shopping online.

I will say it beats the UM UM UM that male host says continually!!!!

As the other poster said, I only watch short clips of videos, so it doesn't bother me at all.

SG is just Super, Super, Super excited about her line! Good for her!

@RespectLife

Lol, you're right.😃. I've just learned to overlook their words, even if they annoy me. Afterall, I might miss out on something I want to buy.😃. And I'm not letting any host or vendor stand in the way of my shopping!🛍️💝💕

We all have things we say too much but don't realize it!! When I worked we talked about this and found out from others that we were guilty of this also but just do not realize it!

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@cheriere - I’ve also noticed “moment” when the vendor or host is describing the design or fabric… along with “story.” 😆

I get irritated with some of the words constantly used (p.s. & by the way, right, obsessed) to name a few, but I’m the one who chooses to watch so…. 🤷🏻‍♀️

For myself, I use the word “like” too much and have for years so it is a struggle to catch myself before it comes out!

"wildly" popular. They use that for everything! Most add a third syllable - Wie-ullll-dly popular. Ugh.
