This is the second day of seven days in which an early story is repeated. Today it is Story 941: “Hilarious”. It was first posted on 8 May 2016.
Thomas wrote a poem for school. His mother thought it was hilarious. She posted it on line. People said it was hilarious. Everyone said it was hilarious. Thomas’ teacher thought it was hilarious. His classmates thought it was hilarious.
“This is hilarious,” wrote Genevieve on Facebook.
But Cameron didn’t find it funny at all. “I can’t see why people think this is hilarious,” wrote Cameron on the school’s webpage.
And actually, Cameron was the only one who was right. The poem wasn’t hilarious at all actually. In fact actually, it sucked. It was actually hilarious the way everyone thought it was hilarious when it wasn’t hilarious. Hilarious actually!
Cameron’s mother thought it was actually hilarious like. People said Cameron’s comment was actually like hilarious. Everyone said it was like hilarious actually. Actually Cameron’s teacher like thought it was actually hilarious like actually. His like classmates like thought it actually was hilarious.
“This is actually hilarious like really gross hilarious,” wrote Genevieve on Facebook.

The story is a fine study on colloquialism. As for the impugned poem, I am inclined to go with Genevieve yet again.

Unfortunately, “hilarious” is the word I most despise! Mainly because when many people use it to describe something it might be amusing but it’s not hilarious!

It’s over-used for sure. I only use it if what is said makes me snort my coffee.
