Bullshit. Use the word 'very' as you would any other word - when it's the correct word for your intended meaning.

I just ruffle my tail feathers and do the traditional love dance. It's worked for generations of my family and one day it will work for me.

One MILLION ways to avoid using the word 'very', and makes this list shit. Use 'extremely' instead. Everything is better when it's extreme!!

Don't say, "very reposted;" say, "reposted to death."

I ate a very hot meal. I was not scalded, so I don't believe my meal was scalding... It was just very hot.

I'm going to need more than a list of words.
Yeah good luck with that. Don't use this on anyone who had briefly studied English past their sophomore year of high school. It sounds dumb

If you think using a thesaurus will make women like you, you're gonna have a bad time...

Worse; if you think being too lazy to actually use a thesaurus and making do with a cheat sheet will make women like you, well... no.

Vulgar is more like a subset of rude. Rude is just impolite for any reason. Vulgar borders on obscene.
FrigginCornflakes
Vulgar means "common" or "ordinary" if translated directly from Latin. The connotation originally was more about class than politeness.
"Scalding" is not a stronger version of "hot." "Scalding" is only applicable when talking about water. "Very quiet" obviously does not (1)
Hence 'intended' and 'meant'. Also scalding can mean with or AS IF WITH water or steam.
lowkeybrotherofthor
Chemicals can be scalding, hot lava can be scalding, soup can be scalding. Use your imagination.

Alright, let's get pedantic. No human has ever heard silence--you can hear your heart and breath through your bones if you listen.
That means that every human application of silent means "very quiet", or "quiet enough so that I don't hear it in normal context."
"love." Actually, almost all of these have significant connotational differences with their counterparts. The point of the line in the (3)

vulgar means common, rude is just...rude
Vulger can also mean repulsive...which most rude people are.
The vernacular vulgar has changed from common to something rude, lewd, or crude. The etymology is common, but it hasn't meant that in ages.
but when you think of someone as "common" you still associate them as being that way. Just think of the term "basic bitch"

Vulgar 1.lacking sophistication or good taste. 2.making explicit and offensive reference to sex or bodily functions; coarse and rude. [1]
2. characteristic of or belonging to the masses.
I got my results from the definition that popped up in google, but dictionary.com has a better one which covers more meanings.

Funny to me that @sabrinadent never got back in on the thread. She said OP was wrong, then went away.
She was sleeping. She wasn't just very tired, she was exhausted.
She's also right. This chart makes me sad every time I see it.
Well hello then! So cool of you to respond. So, you feeling better now?
Well I have pizza coming, so I have that going for me :)
