"Amazing"

[yk9001]

Its my pet peeve word.  Every other person in Hollywood is described as "amazing".  That restaurant is "amazing".  The dessert was "amazing".  This tv show is "amazing".  Everybody's kid or grandkid on social media does something "amazing".

 

We're like Lake Wobegon, where every child is above average.  So many things are described as "amazing".... they can't all be amazing.

 

 

Anybody else hear that word a lot?

[Adam]

Indeed. 

[TobiasFunke]

I use that word all the time. That and "outstanding"

[mp170.6]

I've noticed that whenever somebody dies in an accident or is murdered, the victim is always the nicest, greatest, friendliest, most generous person anybody has ever known. 

 

This can't be true 100% of the time. 

[Ray McKigney]

I prefer the term "craze amaze."

[Jason]

That is over used for sure. I use the word "badass" to express my high level of satisfaction.

[Sully151]

Isn't this a Louis CK joke?

[Amazing Larry]

Your and idoit, it's Huell Howser.

He's the first person I thought of when I saw this thread title.

[Pbonetheman]

I think describing things as being "tits" is always classy.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Or "puss".

[nate]

I overuse most superlatives.  I don't really care though.  Amazing, right?

[NJHalo]

I think the following words need to make a comeback:

 

Nifty

Keen

Neato

Far-out

 

On a totally different subject, I watched the Brady Bunch movie last night.

[Adam]

I'm guilty of overusing "tits" to describe anything moderately decent or better

[mulwin444]

The two that get on my nerves a bit on:

 

Really?? - You say something clever and cutting to someone and their response is "Really?", like they are buying themselves to think of a something - anything - to come back with to counter your "attack".  Usually, though, it ends with "Really?"...

 

Just sayin' - Someone makes an A-hole remark to you and they realize they may have, perhaps, crossed a line.  Two possible options seem to exists - 1) apologize and go on with the conversation 2) Own that A-hole remark with a "Just sayin'", like they dropped some important, universal truth on you about yourself.  This is the less passive agressive brother of the phrase "just kidding". 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

"To tell you the truth"- So you've been lying all along?

 

"You know what I'm saying"- When someone gives up or can't explain it any better.
