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.
