I advised a friend once that to get the ladies he should put a potato in his bathing suit. He came back after a day at the beach and said it didn’t work. Turned out he got the instructions wrong; he put the potato in the back not the front.

I stopped to take a piss at an Arby's once. Does that make me a cowboy?

Very sneaky.

“Impactful” is a heinous travesty of the language. I’ve actually seen “impactfulness” used too. Also bad is “impacts” … “the stock market has suffered several impacts due to low business confidence.” This cumbersome wording tries to amp up the drama. It’s much cleaner to say “The stock market has been affected by low business confidence.” Aside from the shock value of replacing “affected” with impacted, a metaphor for bodily collision, many have turned to impacted because the subtle difference between affected and effected intimidates them.

Be the better person. Avoid the hokey metaphor.

Btw, media uses “slammed” and “pounds” and other Batman words simply because they get more clicks than rebuked or chastized. Don’t be a headline writer.

Affected, not impacted. Never use the word impacted when you mean affected. Use impacted when bodies collide.
