It’s one of two overused phrases that I’m annoyed by.
The first time someone said that to me, I thought I must be clever. Now, that phrase is so overused, it’s just filler until they can come up with a response. Perhaps when they do, I should say, “That’s a great answer!”Used to be, there was a perfect sunset or a perfect storm or something you created turned out perfect — or when Murphy’s law was ruling my life, and anything that could go wrong did, I’d mutter, “Perfect.
So it is with some understanding that she asks you to tolerate these common usages. You will probably get more sympathy from the language department.: I am soon to host a semiformal dinner — and, no, I don’t know exactly what that means .I don’t know what order to serve the dishes in. I really don’t think the soup and salad should be served one after the other, but can’t say why.
Traditionally, the salad follows the main course, but restaurants generally serve salad first, and people have come to believe that the practices of restaurants represent the best service.
