Overheard the owner of my last company tell our corporate recruiter “we’re done hiring women, they just get knocked up and leave.” That, among other shit was why I left. My gf thought I was over exaggerating what they said and did but that was the incident that opened her eyes after I told her. They also did some shady shit with PPP loans that I actually reported a week or two ago. Who knows if anything will come of it but I tried and I’m willing to answer questions if the feds or whoever comes knocking.

Like she was done with exaggerating?
Does anyone under exaggerate?
I see this usage a lot now and I have no idea where it came from. Isn’t just exaggerating the same meaning?

You had me second-guessing whether it was legitimate usage or not, but “over” is just adding intensity to the verb exaggerate.
And now the word exaggerate has reached semantic satiation for me, and lost all meaning… lol
I mean I guess over exaggerate is a tad redundant hahaha.
You might say extra redundant?
|Does anyone under exaggerate?
Yes. Usually when it’s a fuck up.
“I put a little dent in the car”
“I’m not that drunk”
“it’ll only take a second”
