Hateful and offensive

[topum]

I had lunch with two of my ex-colleagues today. The conversation they had made me feel a very odd mixture of amusement and despair. I hardly participated, I just kept ordering alcohol instead. I am just so tired of the massive overuse of "hateful" and "offensive". And the waiter was offensively slow with my drinks. Hateful bastard.

What kind of drinks was the alcohol in?

Also your reference to the words hateful and offensive reminds me of the many times I am reading H.P. Lovecraft and come across the word "obscene".

"They come in legions on the north wind’s swell,
With obscene clutch that titillates and stings,
Snatching me off on monstrous voyagings
To grey worlds hidden deep in nightmare’s well."

“…mildew-tainted hard earth floor with its obscene fungi;”

" And, most vivid of all, there was the dramatic epic of the rats—the scampering army of obscene vermin which had burst forth from the castle three months after the tragedy..."

Wine (it was lunch) and a digestif in the end (I had two :)). And yes, the drinks in central London can be obscenely expensive ).
