lashingssuch

Lashingssuch is a coined term in linguistics and online discourse used to describe a recognizably excessive descriptive style. It denotes passages that pile on qualifiers and intensifiers to convey abundance and emotional intensity. The word fuses lashings, the idiom meaning "large quantities" as in "lashings of," with such, signaling that the description is intended to feel ample or extravagant. The coinage appears in discussions of internet language, marketing copy, and speculative fiction as a way to categorize performative abundance in text.

Lashingssuch language typically features repeated intensifiers, multiple adjectives chained together, and nominal phrases saturated with evaluative color. It can function to elicit sensory impression or to signal enthusiasm, irony, or satire depending on context. It may appear as a stylistic label applied by commentators to describe a passage rather than a term used by the author within the text.

Examples include descriptions like: "The dessert was described with lashingsuch richness and velvety cream" and "The trailer offered lashingsuch stunning visuals that viewers paused the frame." In reviews, marketing blurbs, and fan fiction, the device is used to convey abundance, intensity, and indulgence.

Variants include lashingsuchness (the state or quality of being lashingssuch) and lashingsuch-laden (describing content that is saturated with this style). Reception is mixed: some readers regard it as a playful label in linguistics, others view it as a cliché that signals over-elaboration.
