Do you use the word 'awesome' regularly?

[Madusa]

Not in your world perhaps, but it does in the world of English dictionaries.

Oh come on, most people dont use english as rigidly as that! Besides, English dictionaries are expanding all the time! Thank fuck.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Do you say 'movie' strung out?

 

[strung out]

i say i'm going to the pictures

 

[sheothebudworths]

That's a fucking relief.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

And terrific means inspiring terror. Use of words changing over time shocker

....dictionaries caught up with that meaning change a long time ago.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Do you say 'cookie'?

 

[gentlegreen]

NO.

or "dude", or "gnarly", or "wicked", or "k3w|", or "safe" ....

 

[Greenfish]

i found myself using it and it upset me.

 

[Greenfish]

the worst one I hear around at the moment is..."We're going for drinks".

It's: "WE ARE GOING OUT FOR A DRINK".

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

 

[strung out]

Do you say 'cookie'?

only if talking about the internet. otherwise i just say biscuits.

So those of us who use "awesome" to mean good are avant-garde?

 

[Dillinger4]

no.

It's: "WE ARE GOING OUT FOR A DRINK".

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

[Madusa]

Hair splitter.

 

[strung out]

[Dillinger4]

[sheothebudworths]

Good.

 

[strung out]

some people say awesome sauce though. they're just wrong uns.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

A little too often, thanks to this man...

what has Doogie Houser got to do with awesome?


I think I write it a whole lot more than I say it.

 

[fogbat]

Would that person be an urbanite, by any chance?

 

[The Octagon]

what has Doogie Houser got to do with awesome?

I'm referring to his current TV show, which is awesome.

 

[strung out]

every time i mention a stupid thing that someone i know says, people assume it's electrogrill

 

[Orang Utan]

some people say awesome sauce though. they're just wrong uns.

also people who say coolio boolio

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

No. If I did, I'd feel like I was the schoolbus driver off the Simpsons.

 

[fogbat]

It's a fair bet, isn't it?

 

[5t3IIa]

do you mean 'discourse'?

That's hot

 

[scifisam]

Not really. My daughter frequently says 'awesomeness' instead of awesome, though.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

No. If I did, I'd feel like I was the schoolbus driver off the Simpsons.

I thought it was an imprisonable offence not to use the word if you're from Vancouver.
