How many times are you going to say "exploding" to describe something that didn't explode? You're clearly cognizant of the fact you are lying, so why keep doing it? Why not just describe what happened accurately? Is it a concern that you can't make your point if you relate to the facts in a more accurate fashion, without the repeated hyperbole?

That same process happens to every log I burn in my fireplace. We call it burning. I'd never describe it as exploding even though it matches that definition.

>That same process happens to every log I burn in my fireplace.

Pray tell where you get the self-igniting logs. Last time it lit a fire, it took some effort to get it going.

Also, feel free to take it to Webster. And The Free Dictionary[1].

Then come back to correct me that it's the battery in Bose QC-35 II that exploded, not the headphones, because surely it's an important detail worth debating.
