喜樂美語
  1. 1要命地；極度地（帶「真煩人、真難纏」的口氣）

    Here this is a colourful way to say very, when the speaker is not happy about it: devilishly difficult, devilishly , devilishly hot. It adds a pinch of “this is a nuisance” or “this has a wicked bite.” It is informal to mid, a bit playful even when it complains. Though actually, English also uses it with a wink for things people like in a slightly naughty way (devilishly clever, devilishly handsome); that warmer use lives next door. The sense you need first is the complaining “very.” Nothing here is about religion or a real devil.
