Feeeeeeeeeeeels like................

I've about had it with this whole "feeeeeeeeeels like" crap. The local TV station said it's 97 degrees outside but it "feeeeeeeeeeels like" a hundred and five. No, it feeeeeeeeels like 97°. If it is exactly 97° outside and I walk outside into 97° heat, then 97 degrees hits me in the face. THAT’S what 97° feels like. It does NOT feel like 105°, it feels like 97°. 105° feels like 105°.

This approach is not limited to the weather. And since we don't talk politics here I'll leave it at that. Can we PLEASE stop living our lives - and making our rules - based on some whimsical feeling pulled out of someone's colon?

I've noticed a lot of people saying "feels like" lately. In daily regular conversation.

"I feel like this TV show isn't as funny as it used to be."
"I feel like this shirt is a little too tight."
"I feel like you're a real dipshit."

Whatever happened to thinking?
