'Just'

'After just 3 years'

'He was just 44'

'There were just 7'

At what point in time or at what particular amount does something stop being 'just'?

 

[Asa Post]

'Legend'

I'm a legend. You're a legend. Everybody who ever lived is a legend.
Everything that ever happened, or might have happened, or ought to have happened, is legendary.

[and don't get me going on 'kickstart' or 'ground zero']

When it becomes an amount you don't want to spin as being a smaller-than-you-might-imagine amount.

But it is a completely pointless word to add to things, are we all too stupid to know how small/little things are unless it comes with the prefix 'Just'??

Bank staff who want to get chatty while I'm making a transaction.
"So, any plans for tonight?"

Just process the transfer please, I'm on my lunch break and don't have time to waste.

I quite like this. Many years ago we moved from Central London to a small market town. I was regularly cashing huge cheques to pay our builders. The bank staff didn't know me and I was turning up covered in plaster dust. Eventually the teller asked what the cash was for and I explained and told her where the house was.

The next time I went in, she said she'd altered her dog-walking route and had a look. She was very complimentary.

After a lifetime in London I was initially uneasy about that level of chit-chat. Now I love it.

Either that or the creepier 'See/catch you later!'.

Ah, so its YOU who's stalking me is it?

People who work at checkouts in supermarkets also do this, but even worse, they comment on what you're buying. "Oh eating healthy/having a bbq/party/feast today are we" Eh mind your own business and shut your mouth before I come over there and shove that scanner up your arse.

Buying cat food at supermarkets and person on till asks if I have cats. One day I shall say no, I just have an addiction to Whiskas

Old people in supermarket exits stopping dead to examine their receipts.

Young people stopping dead anywhere to send a text.

"On a daily basis".

What's wrong with just "DAILY"?

I once had a checkout girl comment "You're planning a fun evening then". I'd bought a bottle of wine, some condoms and some filter coffee. All I could do was smile.
