Matthew McConaughey seems like a guy with a lot of interesting opinions but I don’t think any of them are out there as this one about his least favourite word and why he thinks it should be wiped from the dictionary.

The actor was speaking on his own YouTube channel when he said the following:

Unbelievable – it’s my least favourite word.

I think we should wipe it out of the dictionary.

What’s so unbelievable about tragedy, about triumph, about people that raise us up or let us down? It happens every single day.

We shouldn’t think that the most beautiful sunset, or the greatest play, or the greatest love of our life, or the greatest moment of euphoria is unbelievable – believe it. It’s happening right in front of you in you.

We shouldn’t feel like the greatest tragedy, or death, or earthquakes, or natural disasters, or loss is unbelievable. It’s part of life too, believe it. We see it happen every day.

So, unbelievable, I don’t buy. Awesome, horrible, incredible. I believe those. That’s a good way to explain things, but unbelievable. Nah, it just happened. Believe it.

I guess the guy has a point and the speech is strangely motivational, but it’s kind of a weird movement to get behind because it’s got absolutely no chance of success. People like Chris Kamara and Gary Neville are never going to stop saying it and whoever makes the dictionary isn’t going to remove it just because Matthew McConaughey doesn’t like it.

I do appreciate the sentiment of what he’s saying though – might try and stop saying it myself so I guess he’s making some progress. He’s got me there.
