Irritating:
"this changes everything". Really? <David Lee Roth voice> "I don't feel tardy!"
"the [insert something completely banal and useless] that we need!" New network TV shows are starting up, and if I hear that in an ad one more time, I'm going to scream. "The episode we need!". No, I need a vacation, a stiff vodka, and a back rub, not your dumb show!
Pssshh. Suit yourself. My year has been boring as shit and I don't follow sports. I'm looking forward to the new season of Battlebots, premiering December 3 on Discovery Channel (8pm-10pm EST), more than anything else in life right now. I NEED it. I need some kind of return to the way things were in the before times.
No, I hear you, I do. It's more the idea that I'm being told what I need.
But you said that you're being told that it's the "episode WE need." You're not being told that it's the "episode YOU need." You're just not part of "we."
I've never used "essential" oils. Should I be dead ?
Ummm...perhaps it will come as a surprise to you, but many words in the English language have more than one meaning. The word "essential," for example, has many more meanings than "necessary to the maintenance of life." It could mean "necessary to" any number of things other than the maintenance of life -- e.g., Moving Pictures is essential to a true understanding of Rush as a musical act. But even that's not it. The #1 definition of "essential," according to Merriam-Webster, is "of, relating to, or constituting essence: inherent." An essential oil is an oil that contains the essence of something -- e.g., lemon, spearmint, lavender, etc. -- and the word "essence" has nothing at all to do with being necessary to anything.
I've never seen Citizen Kane - which is a MUST see film - are the Police after me ?
So...in your prior example, you decided that "essential" means "necessary to the maintenance of life," but in this example, "must see" (which is essentially a synonym for that definition of "essential") means only that you "must see" it or face criminal liability (or, since you capitalized "Police," maybe you're concerned that Gordon, Andy and Stewart will try to chase you down)? Huh? Do you have no concept at all of figurative speech? "Must see" in the context of a movie means a movie that must be seen to have a full understanding of a genre or a base of knowledge of classic movies.
