the word “really” in true essence is pr-nounced reaaaaaaalllllyy (most effective when pr-nounced for 4-7 seconds), and is a phrase used to express a feeling of astonistment, being extremely suprised about a particular event or often just used as a filler untill the speaker can think of something better to say. indivudials are advised to refrain from using the term in serious settings though.

a brief yet unoriginal way to question the integrity of a person or an act. implies “i’m so unimpressed with this, and disappointed in you for doing such a thing.” appears on social networking sites as a way for people to share news on something that has happened in the world and state their opinion on it, but without going to the trouble of elaborating.

perhaps a byproduct of a world with too much quick access to information, the necessity of forming quick opinions about such information, and the lack of any obligation to defend these opinions.
