(Per se is one of the most misused phrases. People very often use it like it means “exactly.”)

Ironic.

Nothing else comes close.
Even the most professional tv and radio voices in the business use this word in a daily basis to mean “coincidence”.

That’s not what it means. At all.

While often used interchangeably today, the distinction is that nauseated technically means to feel sick, while nauseous traditionally means to cause sickness. You are nauseated (feeling sick), and the smell of rotten eggs is nauseous (causing sickness).


You = nauseated

Rotten egg = nauseous
