Monster
“Monster” is back in the news and not with all that much favor. I can’t see why all the fuss.
I remember it fondly from the jazz world. Man, that guy’s a monster on the tenor sax! Or in sports. She’s a monster three-point shooter. It is always used as quite a compliment.
And then there’s the job-search people Monster.com. I’ve never figured out what that name has to do with employment practices and am too lazy to do the research. But isn’t it just possible it’s use on the campaign circuit could have been a word of praise? One of Hillary’s big claims is all the jobs her presidency will provide — several million if I remember correctly. If I ever heard of monstrous, that’s for sure It with a capital “I”.
Pretty dot common place, too, maybe even, I’d say.
