I’m 15 minutes late to Friday but: Neanderthals started fires by striking flint with hard minerals like pyrite to generate a spark.

Better that than an emergency water plan.

Just read a tasting note on Cellartracker that the 2011 Gonon Saint Joseph was "literally firing on all cylinders!"

Actually, it doesn't fucking have any cylinders, so it is most certainly not literally firing on all cylinders. Maybe the person meant figuratively.

Yes, that word is one of the most abused. Heard some clown referring to how Trump 'literally threw Person X under the bus'. Setting aside doubts about his physical capacity to perform such a feat, it was so clearly a poor usage of the word. Cringeworthy.

Yikes on both these. You would think “literally” is among the least likely words in English to start taking on the opposite meaning or to be used to mean its opposite.

It literally makes me explode to hear the word literally misused.It's a varietal of not knowing what to call a grape variety. It begs the question of whether anyone can speak English anymore.

 

[robert ames]

yes, what is normalcy in word usage nowadays?

I’m 98 points on this.

How dare you sir? I am inflamed. It's poorly conceived rot such as this which is responsible for the decline of human civilization and our descent into barbarism.

I insist that you withdraw it at once or I will invoke my constitutional rite to be outraged at trivial matters to reply in kind.

 

[Jay Miller]

Since you have not seen fit to withdraw your comment in the last 5 seconds:

Something equally trivial and equally inflammatory.

Sigh. I'll miss you at the tastings. I hope you didn't stain up the wall paper too badly with all the gore.
