Not Obvious?

"Obviously."

Such a loaded little word, albeit one I've been using far too much recently. And the quasi-irony is that when I use it in a sentence, it most often is not obvious to all.

"Obviously."

Used in the wrong way, the adverb can come across as very snarky-- as in "You really have no idea about this, do you?"


"Obviously."

Early 2006 resolution: Rid my vocabulary of that word.
