The Word of the Day...HATE.
- to dislike intensely or passionately
- feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest
One of the most misused words in the English language. Most don't know the true meaning of what they really mean when they say they "hate" something. This word represents an intense, burning hatred for something. Saying you "hate" someone or something is very powerful. But the often use of this word burns out the meaning behind it. People say it too much and over the years it has lost its punch. Another definition says hate: "expresses a deep-rooted horror and a sense of repugnance or complete rejection." So when you say you hate somthing, you're saying somwhere there is DEEP-ROOTED horror in whatever it is you feel so strongly about. "Hate" and "love" may be complete opposites of one another, but they are both similar in the sense that they are widely used by everyone, and in this day and age, have lost their meaning. Extremes are no longer extreme.
