you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put \u2018you absolute\u2019 in front of it<\/p>\n

example: you absolute coat hanger<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

as well u can just add \u2018ed\u2019 to any object and it\u2019s sounds like you were really drunk<\/p>\n

example: i was absolutely coat hangered last night<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

#i was gazeboed mate<\/a>\u00a0#i was absolutely baubled<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0\u201cutter\u201d works for the first (e.g.,\u00a0\u201cyou utter floorboard\u201d) but somehow \u201cutterly\u201d doesn\u2019t seem to work as well for the second (\u201cI was utterly floorboarded\u201d).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Utterly doesn\u2019t work for drunk because it\u2019s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2026 huh. \u00a0I thought that might just be the similarity to\u00a0\u201cfloored\u201d, and yet\u00a0\u201cI was utterly coat hangered\u201d does seem to convey something similar.<\/p>\n

I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Completely makes the phrase mean \u201csuper tired\u201d. <\/p>\n

\u201cGod, it\u2019s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Something is<\/p>\n

Something is wrong with our language<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Is it a glitch or a feature?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Feature<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

we don\u2019t have anything like this in French and it offers a range of expressibility that I wish we could properly translate back. it is a feature, i concur<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
