Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaazing!

Oh come ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!

Awesome gets on nerves.

I'm DEVAstated.....!

Oh come oooooooooooooooon GraNs - you're not giving 110%

Its soooooooooooooo irritating.

It's ' our reporter 'caught up with' ' some dull celebrity that really irritates me.

It's a no-brainer.

It took me a long time to realise that it means the opposite of what I thought!

Incredible about something that is wholly believable.

I can't stand 'from the get go' and if anyone 'gives me a heads up' I might just strangle them

Why is everything 'spiralling' out of control?

Step change – hoppity skip.
Sea change – glug, glug (for the third time).

I'm just 'trying to come to terms' with all this!

On the level playing field?

....or the bottom line?

At this present moment on time!

It's absolutely disgusting, which crops up all the time on our local news from people who are expecting compensation for something!

The French have a much more subtle way of using superlatives - my lovely French neighbour described washing her 102 year old mother-in-law's soiled bloomers as 'pas tres interessant' (not very interesting) and when something is truly amazing they say its 'terrrible'. Young Brits have latched on to 'wicked' meaning 'good' but there it seems to stop. Or am I a completely out of touch ex-pat? Hate 'ex-pat' too.

"Thinking out of the Box" whats all that about ?

I like that one - "thinking outside the box".

Actually I think "amazing" is just fine. If a word sums up a feeling, what's wrong with using it. If everyone is feeling the same thing, then the word will be well used.

Do you really expect people to come up with different words for the same emotion all the time?

"spiralling out of control" is amazingly descriptive.

Well I think there are plenty of synonyms for "amazing" - wonderful, great, fantastic, unforgettable, unique, terrific, magnificent, astounding, overwhelming, marvellous, splendid..... to name a few. There are of course shades of meaning and different words will be more or less appropriate depending on the circumstances. I would find it refreshing if people could come up with more exact descriptions for their emotions instead of lumping everything into the "amazing" pigeonhole.

Nope!

None of 'em sound as good as 'amazing'.

None of them heard as often!

hero...................grossly over used
