Personally, I want my dentist office to be on the frigid side.
When you have a dentist or hygenist inches away from your face, for tens of minutes at a time, the last thing I want is to risk having to suffer the stench of body odor. Or anything that can propagate body odor, like anything above “comfortable” room temperatures.
My comment was in regards to Christmas music in those offices.
True dat. I hate the frickin’ drummer boy! I’m with Jesus on this one.
When most of us older people would use the word “literally” most kids now say “actually?” So evolves our language.
Walking in from a 115 degree day in Phoenix, to a 68 degree store/resto whatever. It feels like a liability to me. I’m used to cold, but that’s me walking in from 10 degrees to 70. Colder to hotter good. The other way around hurts.
I like Christmas music, but TLDB drives me pahrumpumpumpum nuts.
I can take TLDB, but what drives me nuts is The Twelve Days of Christmas. It seems to go on and on….and on…
I live with a 17 year old, who literally says literally in every sentence.
Does LL mean “literally” like people my age (born 1955) mean “literally,” or the other “literally,” which I’ve come to understand might mean opposite of literally?
Both, and it literally drives her father crazy.
Is this related to her exquisite debate skills?
For the haterz 
Lol!! I hope she doesn’t do it while debating!
Actually!? I work with 50 17 year olds who do the same…literally literally. I mean LITERALLY!
Touche. I believe you have named the worst Christmas song. Hats off, Grubble! Merry Christmas!
We sang a variation in college that celebrated all sorts of questionable things about our institution and its leaders.
Thank you, sir! Merry Christmas to you too!
Yes, one time when I was a young naive adult, I was thought to have misspoken the word ‘literally’ when discussing a brake job on my car. Oh boy did I get chewed out for probably using the wrong context. ‘Literally screwed’ will not be uttered in a sentence describing an experience with a mechanic ever again ( other than this).
I don’t worry too much about “literally” and as Barron points out it is often a source of humor or comedy routines.
But for anyone claiming that “I could care less” means the same as “I could not care less”, I can’t really agree (although I don’t care much about how people use these phrases, either). His examples (dust, sanction, oversight) having opposed meanings are less on point because they’ve no explicit direct recitation (or absence) of a negative.
Now if you’ll pardon me I need to go unthaw some shrimp for dinner. I mean dethaw. Or unfreeze.
(Some explicit language warning)
Duh! It’s defreeze, ya nut.
This scene took me back to my childhood, when everyone had a respectful, but mean, nickname for everyone else. I guess All in the Family would be an aberration today; but it said the quiet part out loud, and that, IMO, lead to helpful dialogue.
