- halper 1y agoI hear it most often with "real": it is real bad, good or weird. The Offspring wants you bad.
- colanderman 1y agoOh yes! This works with other intensifiers as well. "Crazy good", "wicked bad", "mad smart", etc. To my ears, eliding the -ly changes the meaning from the literal reading, to specifically the intensifier reading.
- gadders 1y ago"Think Different" "That went perfect" etc
