Either online or IRL. For me it's "chefs kiss" there's nothing wrong with it but for no reason it grinds my gears

I just overheard someone describe how their friend was "demolitioning" her house.

So, yeah, that.

I hate it when people verb their nouns too. It's egregified when they start participling their already verbed nouns.

Like... destroying it with a bulldozer? Idk what that means

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the verb form of demolition already exists, it's demolish(ing)

Just... why?

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 week ago

Because people can be very, very, very ignorant of their own language.

So when it's done it'll have been demolitionized?
