Overuse of "extreme!" - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

JumpinJesus · 08-26-2003, 01:46 PM

I was walking down the aisle in the grocery store the other day and saw that AquaFresh now has an "Extreme" toothpaste.

Please join me in my efforts to abolish this particular adjective from common usage before Charmin releases it's "Extreme Clean" toilet paper.

I'll join you if you'll please help me reserve the word "great" as an adjective for athletes to those that truely deserve it.

'terrorist' has become so overused, it's practically a compliment

vermin · 08-26-2003, 03:40 PM

What!? You don't want your teeth to be so radically clean that they can bungee-jump out of your mouth using the nerve?

Yeah.. Maddox is great.

Extreme makes me chuckle. I guess extreme Jell-O might seem cool if I was 12. So many things are like that today though. Terrorist, like above. And how every terrorist has links to Al-Queda. Its comical..

Kinda remindes me of the simpsons. "Gamestation 256...TO THE MAAAXX!"

my friends and i once saw an "Xtreme Bible!". that was funny, it even had this cool picture of a kid roller blading on the front

johnnymysto · 08-27-2003, 04:47 AM

That maddox page has me rolling. That's hilarious! I agree, everything is extreme these days. This morning, I took an XTREME dump. YEAH!!!!

Huzzah to abolishing 'extreme'. Also I would like to nominate people talking about an 'amazing' experience. Usually it's on reality shows talking about something 'amazing' when it really isn't.

Takes me back about 10 years ago when everything was becoming "computerized". I hate that word... actually, I doubt it's really a word at all. It's just some BS term adopted by people that don't know shit about dick when it comes to using a computer. Bah!
