Researchers at the University of Research made the startling discovery whilst undergoing a series of tests on things and stuff.
The study, orchestrated by bored scientists who should be doing something more important and funded by wealthy donors looking to write-off their tax obligations, found that once people had adopted the commonly used phrase, they immediately began overusing it.
Susan started saying ‘smashing it’ after she joined a gym, but soon adopted it as the default phrase whenever she accomplished other meaningless tasks.
“I’d photocopy some documents and say ‘smashing it’ whenever I pressed the big button on the machine,” said Susan, 31.
It only took two weeks for the phrase to infiltrate Susan’s molecules and before long, had mutated her vocabulary entirely, shoehorning itself into almost every sentence.
“Sometimes, I’d say ‘I’m going to smash this’ then whilst actually doing the task, say ‘I’m smashing it’. Upon completion, I’d proclaim that I’d ‘smashed it’.” said a flummoxed-looking Susan.
Susan told us that ‘it’s now become my thing’ and everyone ‘loves it’.
“I got a mug for secret Santa that says ‘smashing it’. A few people in the office have now developed catchphrases of their own too. Whenever I say ‘smashing it’ someone always groans or emits a loud sigh,” added tone-deaf Susan.
