Just off the top of my head, I bet a lot of other repos are going through the same.

why use that specific word though?

Don't be surprised or shocked to encounter metaphors and hyperbole as you read. It's part of standard English communication.

		I haven't heard that word used as a metaphor or hyperbole since I stopped playing on call of duty in 2014... Weird that the hacker news community wants to stick to it. Yall need to grow up. Because I know you would not use it as a metaphor or hyperbole at work. Defending it makes you look immature.
