Isn't "reprehensibly" implying a (fairly serious) degree in and of itself?

[(Anonymous)]

"reprehensible" just means "blame-worthy." That covers a lot of ground.

[(Anonymous)]

Some definitions for "reprehensible" (first five listed on Google):
deserving censure or condemnation (Google)
deserving of reproof, rebuke, or censure; blameworthy (Dictionary.com)
bringing or deserving severe rebuke or censure (Vocabulary.com)
very bad : deserving very strong criticism (Merriam-Webster)
If someone's behaviour is reprehensible, it is extremely bad or unacceptable (Cambridge English Dictionary)

Note the "severe", "very", and "extremely" in those definitions. Also "censure", ie "strong or vehement expression of disapproval".

There's a lot more nuance to the word than you've been claiming.

[(Anonymous)]

And note that "severe," "very," and "extremely" aren't in all of those definitions. Let me guess: you're probably the same person who said "I literally vomit whenever someone posts a dictionary definition to prove a point," downthread.

[(Anonymous)]

But all of those definitions contain at least one of those, or "censure" which has "strong" in its definition.
Put together, every definition is saying that "reprehensible" is a very strong term.

And pfft, nope, not me. I'm (quietly) against the misuse of "literally" as emphasis.
Just like I'm against your muddying of the definition of "reprehensible".

I have never heard it used in a way to mean anything other than "terrible". Have you? Is that common/accepted usage?

Basically, how plausible is it that OP was using the word "reprehensible" to mean "anything, no matter how small, that hurt me"? I really don't think that's likely.

[(Anonymous)]

Not entirely implausible, when you come right down to it, since we don't know what OP finds blameworthy, or even terrible. For all we know, it might include things that you or I would think innocuous. For some people, any departure from perfect is "terrible."

[diet_poison]

Ok, but any secret is open to interpretation given that we don't know everything going on in OP's mind. It is, however, reasonable to make some basic extrapolations based on the information we have. You sound like you are reaching pretty hard to make it fit a less likely interpretation.
