In my day, the word “Awesome" was reserved for things like curing Polio and walking on the Moon, not for food or TV shows.

In my days "terrific" was reserved for things that were so great in size as to cause terror, not getting an A+ on a math test.

Do you know what a fact is Neil? so you can tell me without a doubt that no one from “your day” used the word awesome to describe food or shows?

I'm skeptical that the word "Awesome" was solely reserved for events of that magnitude and I would like to see some evidence to support that conclusion. This feels like the linguistic equivalent of flat-earthing.

While the surfer community embraced this word, outside of that community some thought newspaper and magazine writers during the 1970s were abusing the word (see op-ed fragment below).pic.twitter.com/0nPxsvJGEF

I definitely know the feeling of wanting to state an observation just for the sake of it. Not that it's anything you don't know, but the facts we choose to share out of the blue are often a reflection of the facts we have strong convictions about.

I think you are perhaps demoing the mode of scientific thinking within the so called exact sciences ?? Human relations tend to include emotion based value assessments, why perhaps so many perceive it as a statement by a person, which it might be, cos of the word "my" ??

But it isn't fact, Neil. The first article criticizing the colloquial usage of the word "Awesome" was published in 1977. You were barely an adult. That's very much "back in your day." If you want to come off as an ignorant curmudgeon a you're succeeding.

Do you really think the guy that posed with MC Hammer 5 days ago is serious about this
-
He just said he's stating it as a fact? I'm just taking him at his word.
-
He's taking the piss out of people for taking him too seriously, and you're one such person
-
Well I'd argue his tweeting patterns would make that very unlikely, but alright.pic.twitter.com/fZHmXeRAEB

The "tweeting patterns" of Neil regularly posting similar dry jokes, right. Yall need to stop taking everything so seriously.pic.twitter.com/N9XlNmGl79

Not so much getting onto you as I am the collective that's actually talking shit at my man Neil. You have a good night man.
