I'm just not super excited.

For crying out loud where did that come from. Excited is as excited as you can be, just leave it at that. I blame sport and the people who do well in it. Most pro sports people are really a bit two dimensional. Sports personality is an oxymoron, and many pro sports people are really just very dull people. I'm sure that Andy Murray is a lovely fellow but he has cornered the market on how to sound the opposite of super excited. That monotone Scottish delivery of his is about as interesting as a dead mackerel. Others are coached in everything they do once they have reached success. Only Brian Clough with his flat Derbyshire accent could make comments that were worth listening to, because he was an interesting person with strong opinions. These tennis players in particular spend hours and hours whacking fluffy yellow balls, looking at them to check if they are the same as the previous ball, and then before serving in a match, top Spanish player tweaks his hair ,his shirt and his underwear before he wallops it one more time. You'd think he could afford a better pair of kecks. Super exciting? Not even exciting.

So If we can put super away it would help, or adopt it with regularly. Try saying to the check out person that you are super excited to see them again this week and super worried about the shortage of tomatoes and cucumbers on the shelves. Gauge their reaction.

What actually happens when you put in super, is that you devalue excited, and it's lazy. Find another word to accurately describe how you feel. Super excited is the least creative way to express yourself.Consign to the bin.

I'm flushed with anticipation about the possible reaction to this little piece. Actually I'm not. I'm not even excited.

Time for a cup of tea. I'm moderately mood-lifted by that thought.

Please don'y ask what I think about Barbecues.
