We're still celebrating the majesty of the technique from last month, because let's be real, who needs to move on?
It's the Overly-Overwrought-Overemphasis technique! A true masterclass in doing more, more, MORE!
It's a technique where you add more words, more adjectives, more everything. Because who needs clarity when you can have verbosity?
Example:
"I'm going to the store to buy some stuff, maybe."
becomes:
"I'm going to the store to buy some stuff, possibly, potentially, maybe, perhaps, hopefully, and if the store is still open, which I'm not sure, because I forgot to check the hours, which I probably should have done, but didn't, because I'm not a morning person, and it's still morning, and I'm still half asleep, and, and, and... "
Underuse of Ellipses is a related technique. Or is it?
