Unending. Eternity. Forever. Synonyms.
Words that mean the same thing.
There are so many words in the English language. Why do we use the same words over and over and over? (Do you see what I did?)
This was not intended to be an anti-jargon rant but “awesome” has lost its true meaning.
Now awesome means ANYTHING. It can apply to everything.
Pasta. Awesome
That dress; awesome.
The dog, the movie, the car, the child, the swing set, the touchdown… all; awesome.
When a word means everything it means nothing.
Pasta and a child, both awesome?
A dog and a car? How are these things similar? How does one word describe all of these unrelated things and so many more? It’s used daily.
Did you use it today?
Awesome.
I am tired of you.
Awesome, you bore me.
The definition of awesome is, “Inspiring awe and wonder; something that is extraordinary, or awing.”
Now things that are truly awesome have to have a different word.
Comparing a glorious sunset to a pasta dish is incongruous.
The sunset was awe inspiring (awesome) the pasta dish was delicious (not awesome).
Words. They have legitimate meanings.
Unless the word is awesome.
May I suggest a Thesaurus?
