Dominant

Stop it. Please for the love of all that is sacred... stop it.

Everything is not dominant. In the past month, you've said that this program was dominant, that band is dominant, those cars are dominant, and the headphones you wear are all dominant. And that song you love is dominating.

You describe everything as either dominant or not dominant. There are dozens of good synonyms you can use as an alternative. Supreme, prominent, authoritative, controlling. Hell, try something simple like BEST.

Quite frankly, I'm sick and tired of it. It's depressingly repetitious. And while you may like the word, the more you use it, the lower the standard seems to be for it. The over usage of it has made it into an everyday occurrence. The word carries significance when it's an uncommon. When you use it to describe every third item, it doesn't mean much to me. It's impossible to discern which instances are really remarkable. I don't have the time to check the credentials of everything you mention. So, my natural response is to assume that nothing you describe as dominant is actually that impressive.

Expand your vocabulary a little and people will pay more attention you your opinions.
