I should be laughing...

This should be funny to me, but I just feel sort of empty inside. Perhaps I've become desensitized. 

“Great!” the bouncy tower of womanhood grinned.

Honestly, I was more frustrated by the fact that grinned is not actually a speaker tag. It's like the words bouncy tower of womanhood don't even faze me anymore.

Synonyms for said

Smirked is not a synonym for said. Nor is grinned, smiled, or winked. You cannot smirk, grin, smile, or wink a word. Go ahead. Try it.

And no, "But Stephenie Meyer did it," is not ever a valid reason for anything. Ever.

Said

This is a super fun game. Remember when you were, like, 8 and your teacher taught you the importance of using words other than "said"? Well, your teacher was a fucking liar. Sure, once in a while you can throw in a "replied" or "yelled" for flavor, but really, if your readers are paying more attention to your word choice than what's actually happening in your story, you're doing it wrong. When in doubt, just use "said." I'm so serious here.
