a literal monkey
In his continuous desperate quest to pretend that he is eternally young and thus “in” with the anatomically blessed group, Incubus has taken a fondness for Valley talk. As in:
“So like I need those PowerPoint presentations hella fast,” and my favorite
“Oh my god, that cash flow schedule is off the chain. Do they really think they can be all like ‘my company is mad sick and all? Psshhh,” and let’s not leave out
“Aww mah gawd, that reporter was literally smoking hot!!!”
Ugh. Unless she was perched atop a lit barbeque, this sentence is plain wrong.
“Literally” means “in a literal sense”. Dumb fuck has now taken over this word, and in his misguided efforts to sound literary (isn’t it ironic?, don’t you think?), he ends up coming across as a big buffoon.
And worse yet, he drags normally intelligent people, such as le moi, into the tractor beam of his Grammatical Death Star. We gots to move on, y’all.Â
