minus-squarestevestevesteve@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3年前 over exaggerating Like she was done with exaggerating? Does anyone under exaggerate? I see this usage a lot now and I have no idea where it came from. Isn’t just exaggerating the same meaning?
minus-squaredmention7@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-23年前https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/overexaggerate# You had me second-guessing whether it was legitimate usage or not, but “over” is just adding intensity to the verb exaggerate. And now the word exaggerate has reached semantic satiation for me, and lost all meaning… lol
