adjective insensitive to criticism or insults. “you have to be thick-skinned to work in the turf industry” synonyms: insensitive, unfeeling, tough, hardened, callous.
One of the first items to pop up when using the Google are reviews. For some reason today I looked up Twizzlers Black Licorice and even that had reviews. It had 4.3 out of 5 stars with one individual saying, “Taste like plastic. I wish I could return them.” Everyone is a critic these days. I’ve actually never provided a review before, but I find it fascinating to read them. Do you believe the really good reviews or the really bad ones? You rarely find the mediocre reviews and, if you do, they should just be a zero out of five stars because no one says “I’ll go there for a mediocre haircut.” I thought it would be fun to look at some reviews of Rush Creek. • “This course was in exceptional condition, better than any course I'd played all summer and certainly on par with University Ridge in Madison, WI. • “Course is over-priced. Course is always in phenomenal shape.” Take that Madison!! What can I say about the second one which is pretty funny. We cost too much, but we are awesome. Sounds like that dude needs a better paying job (I know, I need to be thick-skinned). You often have to take these reviews from Page 10
