Not only millennials, who are the greatest sinners here, but
even 50-somethings and 60-somethings are going around frothing at the mouth
with "awesome!" I can't take it anymore. I would say I'm going to
scream, but I've already been doing that, in spades. Fine people who are
otherwise perfectly lovely are, apparently, so bereft of vocabulary that they
can't think of any other way to describe something they like other than by
saying, "Awesome!"
It's driving me fucking crazy.
So here, gentle reader, is a non-exhaustive list of
potential synonyms for your relentlessly repeated, relentlessly annoying use of
"awesome." Try using one or two or even three of these words once in
a while. Before you know it, your vocabulary will expand dramatically. And you
won't sound like a clueless, conformist teenager:
As I said, this list isn't exhaustive. Come up with some synonyms of your own.
