How you noticed how often clickbait headlines use the word "insane"? As in, get insane results, one insane trick to help you lose weight, etc.? Here are a few real examples:
"How Pokemon Go is Driving Insane Amounts of Sales" (Inc.com)"
'Insane productivity" (insaneproductivity.com)
"41 Insane Facts You Definitely Didn't Know About Disneyland" (popsugar.com)
Here's one that throws in another favorite clickbait word for good measure:
"This Seinfeld 9/11 script is insane and incredible" (splitsider.com)
I just ran across perhaps the most inappropriate use yet, on Psyblog, of all places--a site that reports on new findings in psychology:
"10 Science-backed Steps for Insane Mental Focus"
Enough with the insane, already! You're driving me...annoyed.
