Pitchy
Ok, so this isn't really something most people say, but it is something those idiot American Idol judges say all the time. The thing is, pitchy is a word, it just doesn't mean anything close to what they're using it for.
According to Dictionary.com, pitchy means
- Full of or covered with pitch.
- Resembling pitch in consistency.
- Extremely dark; black.
Teehee. They're being racist, associating bad performances with blackness, and usually inaccurate--only Vonzell Solomon is particularly dark-skinned, but she is rarely described as pitchy.
Of course, with the absurd success of American Idol, the new definition of pitchy may enter the dictionaries--but I sincerely hope not, as usages coined by nitwits should be ridiculed, not adopted.
