It’s just become a word of exclamation, hyperbolic at that, no? If someone literally moved to a town yesterday, they probably mean neither literally nor figuratively, but rather, just highlighting their short tenure at the new place. I’m a bit of a language pedant, but find it difficult to argue with the society assigning new meanings to words as the language evolves. Modern English is a tragically malformed and bastardised version of Saxon mixed with French, after all. |
