Asked on October 14, 2021 in Word choice.
I would prefer to write a person completely destroyed in this case, but as a general rule more than ever!
If I want to apply a physical action (wiping) to intangible subject (justice) you need a more poetic form or context in order to avoid creating a weak and awkward sentence.
If “wiped out” is mostly applied to the destruction of living populations, I can’t see how this creates a useful picture in the mind of your reader. This usage probably came from the habit of cleaning writing from blackboards. Is the callous destruction of life such an extreme action to destroy it as if it had no value not just a temporary writein in a classroom. I can’t take the clichu00e9 seriously without a lot more supporting effort on the writer’s part. * * * *

Asked on March 27, 2021 in Meaning.
Why can’t I fight?
“In my face” means (literally or figuratively) standing face to face within the distance normally considered “personal space” and reserved for contact with close friends. If someone who is not a friend does this, it’s considered aggressive.
“ready to back it up” is vague cliche that suggests having available supportive material, reasoning or movement. But for another language in this context you’ll go to “the end of the line”.
To back someone up is to stand behind them ready to provide assistance.
