    I was just thinking about the word “amazing” and how overused it’s become.

    “It’s amazing.” “You’re amazing.” “My dinner was amazing.” Its overuse sort of takes away from the meaningfulness and power of the word, no?

    Some other words I think have lost their significance from ubiquity? “Gorgeous,” “passionate,” “guru,” and “viral.”

    What do you think? Any phrases you’re just sick of, or ones that have lost their luster???

    When a new Hollywood movie is released and the advertising promos have interviews of the main actors. They then proceed to kiss-arse by over complementing each other. The one phrase that irritates the sh1t out of me is something like “He is such an amazing person who has really mastered his craft”. Urgh!

    I think I found the person to blame for this…

    No, that video really is AMAZING. Horribly amazing. I just watched the whole thing and relived my MTV, video music watching days from 20 years ago.

    I almost typed, “Seriously dying over here…” before I realized “seriously” and “dying” are also SO OVER.

    haha right? It brought fond memories when I watched it as well.

    I think “awesome” is pretty done as well. I use that word all the time and I need to quit it fast!

    “Literally” is the one that annoys me, even more so because it’s always used incorrectly too!

    What drives me crazy is when people actually say OMG, LOL, ROFL, WTF.. in real life, instead of just saying the actual words.
