Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Nerve racking

👉 I'll define "nerve racking" as a term that describes someone's response to stress or overwhelming situations, often leading to a state of anxiety or panic.

Let's use an example sentence: "During his recent job interview, Alex raked over his desk and started running through all the details of his resume, trying to make sure he had everything correct before the interviewer." This sentence might sound unsettling because it involves running through one's entire resume while on a stressful job interview. It creates an eerie feeling of being constantly checking every detail to impress the interviewer!
