That's a pretty dark thought, but at least we can all be thankful that Rytr is here to help us write without any criminal intent!

He's trimming the hedges in broad daylight. Sure it sounds like a euphemism, and it could be.

Or just doing something that isn't normally done in daylight.

He's using a flashlight in broad daylight.

Wouldn’t daylight already be broad since it covers a very large area?

Exactly! Do we have narrow daylight at some point, maybe this is an outdated phrase that needs to go...like pitch black...I don't think I've ever seen pitch

Now I'm wondering if there is an opposite to broad daylight. Narrow daylight?

How is it posts like this get up but every single one of mine is killed before it gets up by automod?

I’m looking forward to summer when work ends before sunset so my wife and I can go back to committing walks in broad daylight.

Hahah

I may now start saying “broad daylight” for random things.

“I mowed the lawn in BROAD DAYLIGHT HELEN! BROAD DAYLIGHT!!”

We also rarely hear about other sources of broad light. Broad moonlight. Broad candlelight. Broad fluorescent light.

“But who knows what she spoke to the darkness, alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all her life seemed shrinking, and the walls of her bower closing in about her, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in?”

Usually people do use fatigued to distinguish between something like a small cold or a flu. They have similar symptoms but usually a flu is accompanied by fatigue and reduction in strength. It's why fatigue is usually one of the options along side tiredness and muscle aches when describing illnesses to a nurse.

One of my co-workers came back in the shop with a box left near our break area. As soon as they opened it, everyone knew exactly what it was. Except one person innocently asking what that transparent, silicone thing with lips is. Oh dear.. Please stay the way you are

Can’t have nooks without crannies apparently, whatever the fuck crannies are. Use crannies in any sentence by itself

Edit: well, I learned something today

cran·ny /ˈkranē/

noun

plural noun: crannies

a small, narrow space or opening.
