Has anyone else noticed how "toxic" has become the new drop-in word for when you can't be bothered to think of the right word to use? I'm sure many people have lost sight of what "toxic" actually means. Everything of even a slightly unpleasant nature is seemingly "toxic". We have "toxic relationships", "toxic friendships" (?), "toxic discussions", "toxic behaviour" and so on. I recently heard a substance described as a "toxic poison". Words fail me (as they presumably failed the speaker!)
