It pisses me off when people use the word "obviously". I feel it's insulting to my intelligence by implying I don't know simple facts. I have this one friend who responds to many of my comments by starting her sentences with, "*exasperated sigh* well obviously..." and it makes me rage inside, but I do my best to hide it because I'm afraid people will think I get butt-hurt easily. Believe me, it takes a LOT to annoy me, but when someone uses the o-word, I immediately want to hulk-smash something. | |

| No, you're just annoyed. That would anger me after a while also.
Keep your head up and know that OBVIOUSLY, YOU know better not her. She's just copying you. |

| I understand where you're coming from.
One of my teachers used that word all the time when answering any questions we asked him. It was infuriating.
If we knew the OBVIOUS answer, we wouldn't be asking you! |

| You could do what I do. Simply put, ask her to explain how its obvious. Is there something visually explicative about the situation? Does the knowledge of it appear ubiquitously? Is this something that has been taught to us over and over and over? When she starts to answer how something is obvious, just keep digging until you come to the point where you'll be able able to say
"Excuse me, but how the fly F%@$ am supposed to know that? Apparently, it isn't obvious and the only obvious thing is that you need a dictionary to look up the meaning of the word obvious!"
Eventually, when you make a fool of your friend for being a jackass, she'll learn to be more precise with her usage of terminology. Thing is though, you have to be pretty analytical language wise. It might be kind of hard to do. Its up to you if you are up to the task |

I could be wrong here, but I think someone using the term "butt hurt" might have a less than articulate grasp on the English glossary, or at least that which would be considered sufficient enough to criticize another for theirs or their lack of. |

Maybe... but the term "Butt-hurt" is only in the slang of the english contemporary lexicon and has no precise meaning yet. Anyways, my point was not so much about trying to prevent the appearance of "butt-hurt" but to rather explain how it is acceptable to be offended. If the other person does not acknowledge it, the issue should be pressed especially if its between friends. Aren't friends supposed to try to be nice to each other? |

I don't know. I don't have any friends. But you may be on to something. |
