For real: there is nothing worse than the word "crisp". I fucking hate it. There is really no one who sounds genuine using this word, except maybe (strong maybe) octogenarians baking apple products. Everyone else? Not a chance. And what does this word even mean? The dictionary provides this:
- Firm but easily broken or crumbled; brittle: crisp potato chips.
- Pleasingly firm and fresh: crisp carrot and celery sticks.
- Bracing; invigorating: crisp mountain air. Lively; sprightly: music with a crisp rhythm.
- Conspicuously clean or new: a crisp dollar bill.
- Marked by clarity, conciseness.
For fucks sake. What
doesn't "crisp" describe? It's firm, it's fresh, it's lively, it's motherfucking concise; it's everything. If you use the word "crisp" to describe any of the following, I hate you:
- an autumn day
- apples
- linens, esp. a white and neatly-folded bedsheet (God, I hate that.)
- mountain air
Please don't ask me why, I just know I fuckin' hate this. You can describe your potato chips as "crunchy" and your "clear and concise" reponses as exactly that.
It's that fuckin'
p at the end. I hate the little
'pop' of the lips, that comes with it. Oh, I hate you "crisp".
(Don't even get me started on how the British use it to describe a whole Goddamn snack treat.)
