Please stop using the phrase "It's  to die for" in reference to cheese plates and views of Toledo. We have devalued what it means to sacrifice ones life for family, friends, and country. 

If you must hyperbolize your evaluation of entrees and fashion nouveau, then try saying "It's beyond good", "I give it 10 out of 10", or "It's too, too delicious".

Paltry expressions of faux appreciation are a sign of arrogance and ignorance of the power of sincere communication and the value of honoring the contributions of those who seldom dined out.
