The Word Awesome Has Become an Epidemic

[BBQ2Bayou 807]

Am I the only one who is about to go off the deep end with the overuse of this word? All the dumb, innocuous, inconsequential shit that people do and complain about other people doing, that I usually laugh about people complaining about, this annoyance is one I haven't heard bitched about and it's gone too far. I kind of thought it might be a personal problem because I haven't heard it talked about and I figured  it would go away like most hot words of the month, but it has not. 

Every goddamn show I turn on and every conversation I overhear, it's the 4th or 5th word used. About fucking anything. I really am not one to get bent out of shape too easily. Cut me off in the car, bump into me looking at your phone for pokemon, just being an asshole in general, all the other stupid shit people do, I may get a little irritated, but I'm pretty good at brushing it off. This I cannot. I'm at my breaking point on this shit.

Yes

[Guest Lobo]

Totally Rad, bro.

We're not removing any words from the vocabulary until people over 30 stop using "like" in place of breathing.  

[DigglerontheHoof 21516]

Totally awesome 

[3adays 454]

Awesome sauce

[Bookman 4754]

The word "awesome" is tight.

[Guest Lobo]

The word "awesome" is like, so random.  

[RomaVicta 30508]

English will be so much easier when we pare down all positive descriptive words to awesome, incredible, and amazing. 

[Continental Op 3934]

Everything is literally awesome

Awesome, a time traveling op from 1975.

[phdhorn 6224]

It's much more emotional and effective if you spell it awe-some.

Another word that is used WAY too liberally for mundane shit that doesn’t suck.

AWESOME

There a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
I came to play
