Captain Obvious

I have recently come to the conclusion that the word "obvious" (and all derivatives like obviously, etc.) is just a word that assholes invented so they could make people feel stupid without actually have to say, "I think you're stupid."

Unless you say something like, "It suddenly became obvious to me that I was in love with him"...then there are no non-condescending ways to use it.

Take note people who throw around the word "obviously".  The jig is up!
