You Keep Using That Word. I Do Not Think You Know What It Means

This blog is late, so it comes with a FREE RANT!

It seems that a lot of people I know seem to use the word "basically" and think no one will question it. "I basically live in New York" is one I get a lot, or "I basically got the job" or "I'm basically a virgin" or... you get the picture.

If you have to say basically, then you are not, indeed, doing that thing. So, own up to all the other great things in your life and just admit that you're not "basically" anything and you're fooling no one, basically.
