If the bagel you just ate was "awesome", how do you describe Niagara Falls?
As someone who lives ~20 miles away from Niagara Falls and who goes there every few days, take it from me that the average bagel is far more 'awesome' than the city of Niagara Falls, NY. Niagara Falls, ON is perhaps of comparable awesomeness to the average bagel--the average bagel being bland and entirely unawesome in my view. If you're dealing with people who find bagels of any kind to be awesome, that right there is to be a great indicator that contact needs to be cut off. Sure, de gustibus non est disputandum, but....
A bagel isn't awesome compared to Niagara Falls. But it is awesome compared to the stale bagel you had yesterday. Niagara Falls is awesome until you see Angel Falls. Than the word is simply reappropriated to serve the grander falls. Then you get assaulted and receive a head injury while still in Venezuela and you forget all about Angel Falls. Now Niagara Falls reclaims the title of awesome.
By the way, this website and subsequently this thread; is Awesome.
What drives me insane is "It's all good." While I try to be grateful and have a positive attitude, I will never accept that everything is good. Someone getting a spinal cord injury from an accident? An elderly person getting swindled out of their life's savings? In the context it's usually said in, it seems the person means "It's not so bad. I can handle it." But why not just say that?
My go to in the hospitality industry is " absolutely! " and "I'm sorry!"
Trust in that I value apologies and the over use of this phrase has gone against my character .
We have to say those words constantly to our guest. If they say Hey can you do xyz, we must say Absolutely! We will get right to it! Or "I'm sorry" that when you poured bath gel in your eye, surely it hurt.. Here , feel free to Absolutely sue us and grandstand on how it was our negligence that you did so. Yes sir I'm sorry. Here ---have my eye, I only need to see out of one to know what I am seeing before me.
Well, everything isn't awesome or phenomenal, but it certainly feels nice to hug people.
But it doesn't feel nice to be hugged when you don't want to be hugged.
I'm not a grumpy person at all. I just don't get the overuse and misuse of some words. They lose meaning when overused or improperly used. I "love" my husband and my family, but I "like" my co-workers and various other people in my life. I don't feel the need to over-hype my everyday life. I am grateful that I have a decent job and my health, but everything in my life is not "awesome" or "amazing". Last year, a tornado ravaged the town my sister lives in and it's power was definitely "awesome", but not in a good way.
Basically, I think it's awesome that people who are easily triggered have such an amazing place to vent. So yeah, I love it.
