Today Was Awesome #2

When you see the word 'awesome' used to describe a coffee table, it's like someone said the sky is blue,true but not very exciting. This overuse softens the word's impact, especially for younger people who might start calling a simple Tuesday 'awesome' just to keep up with the vibe

Older folks might roll their eyes at the phrase 'this is amazing' to describe a really good cup of coffee. To them, it feels like words are being stretched too thin, almost like we're losing the meaning of 'amazing' in daily chatter

On social media, saying something is 'mind-blowing' can sometimes feel performative. It's not just about sharing the idea, it's about showing how much it impressed you, turning casual conversation into a little display of admiration

In work meetings, calling an idea 'revolutionary' might come off as sarcasm or a sign that the speaker is ready for a break. It’s a way to keep things light and show that some changes don’t really shake things up that much

When kids call something 'legendary' for doing something simple, like finishing homework, it becomes part of a generational joke. For adults, it’s both charming and a bit of a tease, like the kids are playing at being big, bold people
