Subject: RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves
I'm not sure what happened exactly, but my post about 'rock' is cut in half. Since the quarantine started, my hair has grown to twice as long as usual, and I've been looking at videos about hairstyles and personal appearance. In the course of that, I've grown really tired of the word rock. As in:
She is really rockin' that ponytail! Ariana Grande rocks torn jeans at Coachella festival. etc etc
If the speaker is too lazy to say why he likes the ponytail, he puts the wearer in charge by saying she's rocking it. Duh.
