'Awesome'

This word is defined as:
awesome
A adjective
1 amazing, awe-inspiring, awesome, awful, awing

inspiring awe or admiration or wonder; "New York is an amazing city"; "the Grand Canyon is an awe-inspiring sight"; "the awesome complexity of the universe"; "this sea, whose gently awful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath"- Melville;


Hmmm... I think that in our daily language, we overuse this word a lot! It is often used in the wrong context and I've noticed lately just how often we say something is 'awesome'. (ex. Slurpies are awesome!) Are they really? . . .
