should be phrase/saying, not word

 

for word, "generational"

 

for phrase, "not trying to do too much"

 

They're different topics. We can do a thread on phrasing, too.

Impactful. It's not a word.

 

words become words through usage, Impactful has already made it into the Oxford dictionary. Ginormous is a recent word. But some fake words are just people not understanding how to speak English, like "Irregardless"

i guess it's a phrase but 'X wanted it more'

 

these are pro athletes who have busted their ass their entire lives. they both want it

 

Good one! I think sometimes it is used appropriately, but many times it is a frustrating thing to hear. It's bad in team context as well. If a team wins one zip on a flukey goal, it does not mean they wanted it more.

phrase - "Like I said..." as the first thing out of your mouth you didn't say anything yet!!!!!!
