Awesome Colleague

[thaifkrlim]

my colleague likes to use the word Awesome, he tends to use the word awesome at every available opportunity, thrown at everything

like yesterday he told me "You're awesome", this morning , the weather is awesome, at lunch he says the food is awesome, our company outing to the bar was awesome and the girls were awesome

My old english teacher did not tell me that this adjective is so useful and colourful

[ukrules]

I'm guessing you're friend's American. I believe it's the most used word in the US version of the English language.

[tailspin]

start using "smashing" or "jolly bloody good old boy" as much as possible

Shock and Awesome

Enjoying the craic!

In the UK it`s the word `superb` that pisses me off....seems to me, when said it is people trying to make out they are a bit upper class than me. What`s the matter with someting being good, or even great.....only Kenny Dalglish, as a player, was superb.

[smokie36]

Shug I agree with every aspect of your post.

Thai-related? Oh the collegue is based here. That's bloody awesome (both uk and us covered in 3 words). Next topic please.

[Mossfinn]

Thai related? Have you seen the immigration thread? Although that is worth every penny

I enjoyed my participation, thought it was awesome

Croc hunter steve irwin (rip), used the word awesome on avg, 28 times per episode. However, that pales in comparison to 'crikey' that he rolled out an incredible 143 times.

Wikipedia is awsome IMo.

crikey, note to self, drop the use of word awesome, superb and lets throw in dude while we are at it (recall someone complaining about that a while back too).

I think the current word in the UK is brilliant. Harry Potter and crew use it all the time...a bit too much IMHO...just like the use of awesome. Unless of course it's followed by dude.

O for Awesome - some may remember boxer David Tua, Olympic heavyweigh bronze medallist, went pro (57/53/3/2), challenged and well beaten by Lennox Lewis for the world title

before that fight - he was on an NZ's Wheel of Fortune game show, and made his way into local legend with his option to 'pick a vowel'

"O for awesome" he said

On the same show, my brother's "P for pterodactyl" somehow missed legend status - just strange looks.

I have heard a few ladies?from the uk use "brill" for short-that's usually followed by f_wanke_r. Not in the same sentence of course.

It gets better when one adds the term, Dude. As in: "Awesome, Duuuuude"

This latest, and unfortunately long-lasting, dumbing down of the linguistic lexicon greatly influenced by those generations that really haven't a clue - x and y.

A reversed baseball call worldview.

[StreetCowboy]

'Awesome' or 'Owe some'? or woesome?

Probably better for him to use the term 'Beezer' instead... less ambiguous.

How about a dude who has a superb awesome?

How about a dude who has a superb awesome?

There's a 'movie' that came out last year called 'The Legend of Awesomest Maximus'. It wasn't so good, I watched about the first 10 minutes before turning it off.

Was it a porn movie? Like John "The Wad" Holmes?

There was I thinking it began with 'wh'.

I once made the point on another site that I was less than joyful in being referred to as 'dude'. I could accept 'dud' since everybody has their own opinions but I wasn't in the habit of going to Arizona, or indeed anywhere, dressing up in jeans, big leather boots and a checked shirt, climbing aboard a nag and pretending that I was a cowboy. However putting my underpants on over the top of colourful pajamas and pretending that I was Superman was something else.

I knew a guy who had two words that were applied to all .

It was " SUCKAGE " or "RAILLIN' " , rain or snow , pish or super dooper and he was always right .

[Tonto21]

Hi 'thaifrlim' I don't think I have ever been called awesome, especially in the morning! Now, don't be too quick to launch the word "Awesome" in the bin just yet, the word 'dude', sure, ditch it that word is worrying! Ok, so your colleague is a 'gummy bear short of a picnic' I'm sure he'll move on to; 'stupendous' or 'radical' soon.

That may have been me. Currently my pet peeve is the overuse and misuse of the word "amazing". "Brilliant" will be next on my list.

I knew this other guy, who after joining the SWP would always be saying " So what's the general consesus then ?" , and I used to say "Fish supers ? "or " "Pints of heavy? " .

And then there was always "Shirley ! Don't call me Shirley ."
