If I had to pick a name for this kind of slang/phrasing, I think it would be something like “superlative trunc”, as in a truncated superlative (biggest, smallest, oldest, richest, tastiest, etc).

I have a friend who suddenly realized they had a habit of blowing on very cold bites of food (like ice cream) as though it was something too hot to eat. They rationalized this as needing to do it for any food that was “too temperature.”

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
