Words you "love" would be something that would be humorous, useful, etc all rolled into one. Something like "banging". Very versatile.
"She's banging". Easy to understand, everyone gets it.
"You're breath is BANGING!" Easy to understand, everyone gets it, and it's funny.
Phrases like "hot to death", good. Facetious, not good.
I dunno, maybe I'm just ghetto.
I agree with you for the most part. I don't like the word "facetious" either. In my opinion, there are words that are just fancy and only dress up simpler words, and then there are actual high-vocabulary words that have a complex meaning. I like many of those.
"Laconic" is a good word.
