THE WORLD'S MOST OVERUSED ADJECTIVE

 

The word “amazing” has replaced “great” in our cultures lexicon and I’m pretty bloody fatigued from it.

Every porcelein grilled, fake tanned little pseudo-celebrity answers the question, How are you doing? with “Amazing”. Every new product is “Amazing”. Every person is referred to as “An amazing guy/girl”. Every person, place or thing that was once adjectized as “great” is now “amazing” and its annoying me.

Stop it, English-speaking world. Use other words, there are lots of them like; remarkable, or incredible, or fantastic, or marvelous, or sensational, or splendid. Or at the very least drop an f-bomb in the middle of the word.

Of course now that I have brought this to your attention you too will hear every “amazing” that drops from the pouty lips of today’s youth and it’s gonna grind your mind.

Oh, and just FYI, tonight’s Stars-Flames game is going to be…A- F-ING-MAZING! (See, now that’s better isn’t it.)
