Awesome!
The word "awesome" is much overused. That's probably largely because people use it as a response to anything and everything, so it's ingrained in our language...so, when someone asks how something was, the response too often is "Awesome!" That, I feel, diminishes the strength of the word and minimizes something that is truly awesome, such as a magnificent sunset or being with special people or reading something that was, well, awesome.
We saw a movie this weekend (which shall remain unnamed because I don't want to start a firestorm about whether the movie is or is not, in fact, awesome. You already know that I feel that few or zero movies would or could truly be "awesome" by what I wrote above).
Several friends wrote on social media and described the experience of seeing this particular movie as "awesome." These were adults writing the reviews, not younger folks who may in fact describe everything as "awesome." As I said, we saw the movie. It was good or okay, but in our opinions definitely not "awesome." At least, not for us.
In fact, I'm trying to think of the last movie I might describe as "awesome." The last anything I might describe that way would be the Grand Canyon or Zion National Park.
