    I hate this figure of speech crap. It’s not a figure of speech, it’s lazy and wrong.

      Do you also get annoyed when something not actually cold is called cool? Or if someone doesn’t actually get to a task “in a minute”?

      If literally everyone in CA was actually sick, that would have a bigger impact than late-2020 COVID. I’d prefer if language wasn’t catered to the type of person who doesn’t recognize the post title is an exaggeration to convey seriousness.
