Media constantly using the term "on steroids" has become 'chimpish". Just this morning on talk radio, within 5 minutes I heard one reporter say "Corona Virus is the flu on steroids", then a weather guy said "We got more rain in L.A. because it was like a "cold front on steroids".
These media people are getting paid obscene amounts of money to use the English language to convey things, and every fucking time something is large or excessive in any way, they fall back on this hack, tired fucking expression.
