minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•2 years ago over exaggerating Like she was done with exaggerating? Does anyone under exaggerate? I see this usage a lot now and I have no idea where it came from. Isn’t just exaggerating the same meaning?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•edit-22 years agohttps://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/overexaggerate# You had me second-guessing whether it was legitimate usage or not, but “over” is just adding intensity to the verb exaggerate. And now the word exaggerate has reached semantic satiation for me, and lost all meaning… lol
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•2 years agoI mean I guess over exaggerate is a tad redundant hahaha.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•edit-22 years ago|Does anyone under exaggerate? Yes. Usually when it’s a fuck up. “I put a little dent in the car” “I’m not that drunk” “it’ll only take a second”
