Very compelling
- okay real honest question: what is the "very" augmentative / replacement for "compelling" then?
  
  Undeniable?

Be careful, the knife is keen!
- They are actually more dangerous when tedious.
  
  Are you grave?

You could just replace "very" with "fucking" and get the same results as all the synonyms.
- Or how about: " It's fuckin' BUSTLIN' in here"
- But then it wouldn’t be a Cool guide

Huh. There are adverbs aside from 'litchally'?
- akshually yes

I have a compelling erection, but it is brief 😞

"This lake is profound"
- Damn beat me to it

Incredibly, unbearably, immeasurably, vastly, amazingly, stupidly, etc etc.

I quite like the word very tho it’s a nice word, short, honest, the kind of word you can rely on.

so you're saying very very boring is tedious...

There's so much noise in that photo, it's deafening.

“Rich” and “wealthy” are two different things. They’re not interchangeable.
- Rich = lot of money Wealthy = lot of money
  What is the difference?
  
  Ok. You know how basketball players make a lot of money? They’re rich. The guy that pays them is wealthy.
  
  Rich is having lots of money. Wealthy is having a lot of passive income. In practice, the 2 are similar. A rich person can invest, and so become wealthy. A wealthy person is often rich. It's possible to only be 1 however. E.g. Someone with a large property portfolio would be wealthy, but not necessarily rich.
  This is one of the powers of the English language. We have a ridiculous number of pseudonyms. They have similar meanings, but vary subtly. This allows us to express ideas with a lot more granularity than a lot of other languages.

American version -
Super big
Super boring
Super noisy
Super poor
Super creative
Etc etc

Wicked

Solid idea, but imperfect execution.

My headmaster once substituted one of my classes and used it to demonstrate how “get” is a really crap word and you can always replace it with a more descriptive and apt synonym.
Nowadays I just have to choke down when business people ask me to “action” things.

This must of been very tedious to make... Aww fuck whoops

Thank you partybot very cool!

Ya ~~very simple~~ basic

I'm just gonna throw this here because the word Lavish was used.

Not-that-fun fact, years ago way before any new taxi service, during the reign of a then-popular particular word, I heard someone refer to something as “super uber strong”. Apparently neither intensifier was enough on its own

Very interesting
