When I saw "particularly fine" twice in the same Can review on AMG, I thought something was up. What's up?

Haha!!

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 26 September 2004 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

writers often enjoy using phrases they enjoy!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 26 September 2004 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I love stylistic quirks. Now we know if someone posts something anonymously but uses the phrase "particularly fine" (not to mention "bemused"), then it's gotta be Ned.

ROFFLE - Fantastic!

Hehe. I've caught reuse in my AMG reviews more than once, always bugs me when I notice it. Particularly fine is as particularly fine does. ;-)

Hey man, I just used the phrase "damn near perfect" twice on another thread talking about the fucking LEMONHEADS. Now THAT'S bad...

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Sunday, 26 September 2004 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I do this shit all the time. I make a real effort to look for it now.

― manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 26 September 2004 16:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I use the word "experience" three times in my cover letter. There is no other way to say "particularly fine"!!

"exceptionally nice"

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Sunday, 26 September 2004 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

My favorite is the Chameleons UK live record review, where they do a "particuarly fine" Second Skin but they only have "generally fine" sound.

― caspar (caspar), Sunday, 26 September 2004 18:42 (twenty-two years ago)

"exceptionally nice"

that's too strong, Ian.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Sunday, 26 September 2004 18:44 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe "especially nice" but that's a bit clunky.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Sunday, 26 September 2004 18:45 (twenty-two years ago)

you could rearrange teh sentence construction and say something like "quite nice" or "notably [adjective]."

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Sunday, 26 September 2004 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

but anyway, how come none of these search results is for a ned raggett fan page? "ned raggett has particularly fine hair"

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Sunday, 26 September 2004 18:49 (twenty-two years ago)

notably special
notably adequate
especially good?
quite fine

Good news, Ned, you can use "quite fine indeed" loads of times until you fill up your quota.

You know, I used to know the girl who ran the Ned Raggett online fan club, but she never mentioned Ned's name in all the years I knew her.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 30 September 2004 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Some fan.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 September 2004 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

It was a private obession. Filled with shame and lust.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 30 September 2004 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

notably adequate

This is the best. I'd like to see "notably adequate" used in more reviews as a description of the best songs of crap bands.

― wetmink (wetmink), Thursday, 30 September 2004 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

hey, i dunno ned from ... anyone else, but at least he uses my least favorite term, "seminal" less (well, by one) than "particularly fine".

Good lord, Michael.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 September 2004 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Someday I'd like to take a whole bunch of reviews and replace the word "seminal" with "spermy".

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 30 September 2004 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't talked to her in years though, Ned.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 30 September 2004 17:55 (twenty-two years ago)

On top of it's clichedness, isn't "seminal" kind of male-biased? Is there even a feminine equivalent of "seminal" - to describe the female contribution to the reproductive process? "Eggy"?

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 30 September 2004 18:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Is there even a feminine equivalent of "seminal" - to describe the female contribution to the reproductive process? "Eggy"?

--i think that "germinal" is the "feminist" approach to the same concept.

― blackmail.is.my.life (blackmail.is.my.life), Thursday, 30 September 2004 18:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought a "germinal" is what you find in men's restrooms in Berlin. (ha! I crack myself up)

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 30 September 2004 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

My friend Dave* opts for the unwieldy phrase "seminal feminal" when he needs to turn that corner.

I work with two high school kids who have the most hysterical conversations. They both work on the school paper, and the other day they were talking about a journalism assignment that required them to coin a new word to use in a movie review. "Hey, I just thought of a made-up word I can use," one of 'em says. "What about 'whimsical'?"

Ned - Fyi: though haywire in general, I am a particularly fine proofreader. For friends with a particularly fine taste in music, I charge nothing.
