In a post on May 26...

on a different blog, I wrote:


I want the word awesome back.

As in AWEsome. As in awe inspiring. As in oozing with enough awe to last you a week in a city.
I thought about adding a new suffix to the root, but "-ful" is already taken...for the fucking antonym! What's up with that?

I want "Wow, that was awesome" to once again be a very specific, flattering compliment, not a synonym for the generic "cool, dude!"


Got it? Good (not awesome).



....




On May 27:
Jon Stewart spoke about AWEsome on The Daily Show.




Coincidence? I think not. (Brilliant minds think alike.)
