Just like songs that get overplayed on the radio, words get overused. In the fitness world, we see this happen quite often. Basically what happens is you hear a word so many times it becomes flat or somehow loses it meaning. Perfect example is the word functional. I think we all agree that this word has been prostituted so long now... it means nothing, or it can mean anything, regarding anything... "I am going to get on that treadmill because somebody just got off of it"... sounds like a functional plan...
What we see now is unbelievable... this word functional had exploded into the mainstream America and now we have different degrees of function.. highly functional, extremely functional, sort of functional, not very functional The word functional has completely lost it function.
When I see or hear the word functional, I know that somebody is trying to get me to buy some kind of bullshit that they happen to be selling...
