I may have touched on some of these before, but since they haven't gone away...
Why is something always "jaw-dropping" when it's merely surprising?
Why does everybody "break their silence", when all they do is issue a statement on an issue... or have their publicist do it on their behalf?
Furthermore, why do they "open up" about something, when it's really only an explanation?
Why is a piece of music, or video, said to have "dropped", when it is released for public viewing, or listening?
Why do a celebrity's 'fans' go into "meltdown", when said celebrity does something new, or changes their hairstyle?
Why is every little domestic innovation a "game-changer"? Or, if it's something really effective, it's "insane"?
And why do make-up free photos of (insert usually female celebrity's name here) "confirm the rumours"?
What rumours? Are they jaw-dropping? Can we get the celebrity to open up & break their silence by dropping an Insta-post? That would be a total game-changer & send me into meltdown...
It's insane
