adverb

Sadly, adverbs are no longer commonly used in everyday speech and perhaps even in writing; they are increasingly being replaced by adjectives. See the examples for clarification.

Remember that adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Adjectives modify nouns.

Incorrect usage with adjectives:
Incorrect: I did good on that competition today.
Incorrect: I did bad on that test.
Incorrect: My computer can download files fast!
Incorrect: My computer works perfect.

Correct usage with adverbs:
Correct: I did well on that competition today.
Correct: I did badly on that test.
Correct: My computer can download files quickly!
Correct: My computer works perfectly.

Anderbody

A run-together form of "and her body". Generally used immediately after butterface as a polite, face-saving and somewhat humorous way to say that a woman is not good looking, nor blessed with an aesthetically pleasing body.

It could conceivably be used to describe a similarly unattractive gentleman, thought to my knowledge, it has never been used in this fashion.

Spencer: Did you see that girl knut hooked up with last night?
Cosmo: Yeah, a real Butterface Anderbody.
Spencer: Good personality, though.
Cosmo: Oh, of course...

adverb

An adjective describing a verb.

Most likely will end in "-ly."

Slowly, quickly, magically, beautifully, gracefully, charmingly, are all adverbs.

adverbify

Changing another part of speech into an adverb by using it to describe how, how much, or to what extent an adjective or noun conveys or contains a given characteristic.

My douchebag lawyer called this case "defensibly viable", thereby adverbifying a "defense" and being annoyingly redundant at the same time.
