Question

hypercritical Most teachers do their best to correct their students' mistakes without seeming hypercritical. ˌhaɪpərˈkrɪtɪkəl

Accepted Answer

Overly critical. The important prefix hyper- means “excessive” or “beyond” (see HYPER), so hypercritical means basically “too fussy.” In TV and film comedies, the mother-in-law is just about always hypercritical, since the person her child married is never good enough for her. But other parents, spouses, and even children can be just as bad, so we should all be careful. If your father asks what you think of his new experimental meatloaf and you say it needs a pinch of oregano, you're being constructive; if you say he should cut down on the sawdust next time, you're probably being hypercritical
