    have to blame the RJs and TJs (T.V Jockeys aka comperers) for this overuse of such superlative adjectives thereby diminishing its importance...... more such words

    sounds like the verbal diarrhea from many a singing/dancing competition judge...cringeworthy indeed.

    lull-a-bee...something just broke inside me when I heard the word butchered....

    "cho chweet" makes me choke...

    the overuse of "like" has been parodied to death and yet it still prevails...

    Ingayum neraya nadakkum. One can understand if someone mistakenly/intentionally uses the short form "btw" to mean between. As in, "It's btw the two big buildings" - idhu OK.

    What i don't get is the other way round - why/how does one actually expand "btw" to "between", as you have pointed out.
