You can put ‘very’ before every suggested alternative. What then?
I teach foreign language students and they often write about how their food was “very delicious”, and it always sounds so jarring to me. There are a lot of really strong words that native speakers tend to not use very with.
eg:
very difficult task / very monumental task
very good cooking / very superb cooking
very happy man / very elated manFor some reason intensifiers like so and such don’t have those restrictions:
The task was very/so monumental.
It was very/such superb cooking.
He was very/so elated.Bring ‘fucking’ into it and even native speakers say how fucking delicious the food was.
It’s funny how it suddenly appears to work with “fucking” but “very” is weird.
When very then?
Some of them feel better than others. Very boiling is kinda weird.
Very powerful works imo.
Most of the alternatives feel odd with a very. Eg: very powerful, sure I get your message but it sounds awkward
Use all the words in the right columns but preceded with “fuckin’” every time. Like a real gentleperson.

Not enough swearing to be truly Aussie
Spoiler
Cunt.
I’ve never been too interested in Australia, but after becoming the world’s foremost expert on Bluey, I’m starting to like it more and more. May have to visit one day.
Bluey is heavily edited for international audiences. It’s mostly all the swearing that’s removed, but not exclusively.
The season 3 episode ‘The Decider’ is 12 minutes longer in Australia. As the game goes on, Bandit and Lucky start pounding the rum and cokes and eventually start punching on.
There was also an entire sub plot of Chilli trying to sneak off to punch a few cones that had to be cut for overseas audiences.
Oh my, I need to see if I can find a torrent for the aussie version of the entire show.
I do hope it’s Pat pounding the rum and cokes though, otherwise I have some questions about his and Janelle’s parenting skills.
Yes, you’re right. It was Bandit and.Lucky’s dad.
I had a few rumbo’s myself, and I’m still a little woozy from that drop bear attack a few days ago.
I did end up finding a blu-ray version torrent that’s less censored than the streaming version, but nowhere could I find any version of that episode where Lucky’s Dad and Bandit get properly wasted. Only a 20 second difference in length.
Legit criticism! But hear me out. Who remembers all those different words anyway?
Instead of NOT using “very”, I say we ONLY use “very”.
It’s a very idea!
The veryist of ideas. Bigley very
A very idea from a very mind! You’re very.
That’s so aladeen of you
Me very meticulously checking every word to see why this in in shitpost.
The shitpost was that we both wasted our time
yeah some of these aren’t accurate
Verily
very cool, thank you.
You’re very welcome.
Very lazy = idle?
No? Or is my english bad?
Indolent.
Kinda, kinda not. To me, idle means “not doing anything at the moment”, e.g. “standing idly by”, which is definitely different than “very lazy”.
Yeah. Same.
It’s an older use, to the point that I’ve never heard it used. Merriam marks that definition as “old-fashioned” (which is a bit odd, because I thought they only used the archaic or obsolete terms).
The lazy sense is probably what’s meant from the old bible quote about “idle hands” related to the devil.
Fair enough while I have opinions.
But it makes me wonder if OP actually used idle for very lazy or if they never actually read their own post.
It’s the second one

Apparently, my stomach is vacant.
