How to use "Excruciatingly" in context?
When I hear the word "excruciatingly," I think of one thing and one thing only: the pain a person experiences when undergoing a particularly agonizing form of torture. This word is best used to describe something that is incredibly difficult or painful. For example, if I were to say that your picnic was excruciatingly hot, it means that the experience was incredibly uncomfortable. It could also refer to a particularly grueling workout that leaves you feeling battered and exhausted. And finally, it could describe a situation or experience that is so bad, it's almost unbearable.
