Title: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Sky on February 23, 2007, 08:41:23 AM Please help me in my personal crusade to exorcise the word awesome from general usage. I've decided splendid should be the new awesome. "That's totally fucking splendid, dude!"
Thank you for your support. Don't be a hater, be a participator. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: tazelbain on February 23, 2007, 08:42:01 AM Sweet!
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Ironwood on February 23, 2007, 08:43:43 AM I have been using this word a lot recently. I think this is a capital idea.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Lantyssa on February 23, 2007, 08:50:49 AM Oh the temptation...
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Jayce on February 23, 2007, 08:59:05 AM I think that's an awesome idea.
Oops!! Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Yegolev on February 23, 2007, 09:01:49 AM Supoib!
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: HaemishM on February 23, 2007, 09:07:39 AM We'll battle for SPLENDID!
Nope, just not feeling it. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: stray on February 23, 2007, 09:13:04 AM Jeff Spicoli does not approve.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Paelos on February 23, 2007, 09:14:46 AM Can we bring back "righteous" instead? I always felt it got a bad rap.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Samwise on February 23, 2007, 09:16:33 AM "Tubular" didn't get much time in the limelight either.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Kenrick on February 23, 2007, 09:49:50 AM Wicked.
Bitchin'. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Nebu on February 23, 2007, 10:12:06 AM I had a roommate in college that always used the word "Mint" instead of awesome or cool. Made me want to punch him in the face.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Samwise on February 23, 2007, 10:15:36 AM A quick flick to the earlobe works better and doesn't leave a mark.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Nebu on February 23, 2007, 10:24:11 AM A quick flick to the earlobe works better and doesn't leave a mark. My roommate was a TE and I was a defensive back. I think you can imagine why I had to demonstrate some restraint. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Samwise on February 23, 2007, 10:28:24 AM :-(
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Signe on February 23, 2007, 10:43:24 AM What a Splenda idea! (I'm on a diet)
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Strazos on February 23, 2007, 11:11:28 AM How about Choice? Example:
(http://www.versii.com/obzor/car_film2.jpg) Ferris: "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. " Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Paelos on February 23, 2007, 11:13:03 AM That ride is righteous!
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Murgos on February 23, 2007, 11:23:01 AM What about radical? Are we still allowed to use radical?
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Jayce on February 23, 2007, 11:55:15 AM What about radical? Are we still allowed to use radical? Nope. "Rad" is out too. I suggest "fetch", from that ridiculous movie. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: WayAbvPar on February 23, 2007, 11:56:03 AM Fetch is not going to happen. Get over it!
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Furiously on February 23, 2007, 12:28:48 PM Maybe if you put a Mr. Burns, "Spleeennnndiddd" it becomes better?
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Damn Dirty Ape on February 23, 2007, 02:43:36 PM Is "awe-inspiring" permissible?
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Rasix on February 23, 2007, 03:13:28 PM You can pry "awesome" from my cold, dead, awesome hands.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Gutboy Barrelhouse on February 23, 2007, 03:25:34 PM That idea is so money.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: pxib on February 23, 2007, 10:08:02 PM I'm always open to adding a couple defs to the wordrobe
my slicktionary styles will leave everybody jawstruck Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: SnakeCharmer on February 23, 2007, 10:18:50 PM Tiger Woods: "Hey, man. That 3 iron you cracked from 248 out was splendid. Nice job." - Nope. Doesn't work.
NASCAR Driver: "The 19 Ford Home Depot Viagra Everready Sony Blizzard Goodyear Fusion was just splendid. The pit crew did a splendid job of keeping me out front. I just want to thank my sponsers for giving me this splendid opportunity" - Definately not. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: stray on February 23, 2007, 10:26:38 PM Awesome. Badass. Sick. I use those plenty, I have no shame.
In more, umm, professional settings: Great. Fantastic. Excellent. Never use Splendid. That's almost as bad as "I say!" or "By Jove!" Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Margalis on February 23, 2007, 10:40:24 PM People in Massachusettes STILL say wicked, even kids. So I don't think awesome is going to go away any time soon.
I enjoy using 'rad' sarcastically. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: CmdrSlack on February 23, 2007, 10:50:18 PM Personally, I think people should say, "boss" more.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: schild on February 24, 2007, 02:56:55 AM Bossanova? Chevy Nova?
... COWABUNGA? Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Strazos on February 24, 2007, 03:23:10 AM Narly?
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Signe on February 24, 2007, 05:18:27 AM SUPER!
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: NowhereMan on February 24, 2007, 05:36:18 AM Personally I favour phenomenal. I think it could catch on.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Llava on February 24, 2007, 09:13:52 AM GREAT SCOTT!
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: RhyssaFireheart on February 24, 2007, 06:49:27 PM Can I call things "mondo bizzaro" if I promise to start using splendid? It's a fair trade I think.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Llava on February 25, 2007, 09:25:01 PM I told some friends to have a Splenda week.
Someone responded telling me to have a Nutrasweet week. I'm pretty sure that's a way of wishing cancer on someone. So I vote down Splenda. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Signe on February 25, 2007, 10:05:53 PM I'm sorry. :oops: I didn't mean to cause you emotional suffering.
I forgive you, too. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Sky on February 26, 2007, 06:49:21 AM That's almost as bad as "I say!" or "By Jove!" Now we're getting somewhere! Balderdash and HARUMPH!I made up two new words friday, feel free to use them. 'Blackorice' for some gourmet black licorice someone brought in, and my girlfriend's lack of a black turtleneck led to 'shopportunity'. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Signe on February 26, 2007, 06:54:39 AM I got an email once offering me a chance to win a $500 Kmart card because it was the "shopportunity of a lifetime."
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Ironwood on February 26, 2007, 07:41:21 AM Ok, the head shaving avatar is really, really freaking me out. Time for a change.
:) Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Signe on February 26, 2007, 07:55:26 AM Ok. :|
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: stray on February 26, 2007, 07:57:18 AM It was all my fault. Or Britney's. Not sure.

Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Merusk on February 26, 2007, 09:53:19 AM Much better. I was expec.. Nm I'm not giving her ideas. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Signe on February 26, 2007, 09:58:16 AM Hey! You can give me ideas! I collect ideas. (you don't have to dust them, either)
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: HaemishM on February 26, 2007, 09:58:45 AM Never use Splendid. That's almost as bad as "I say!" or "By Jove!" I think we need some more By Joves in the world. For awesome. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Merusk on February 26, 2007, 10:03:28 AM Hey! You can give me ideas! I collect ideas. (you don't have to dust them, either) The problem isn't your collection of ideas. It's that you actually enact some of them with horrific efficiency. :-D Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Triforcer on February 26, 2007, 10:35:19 AM I think tubular needs to come back.
....TUBULAR!!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Lantyssa on February 26, 2007, 11:50:49 AM Much better. I prefered the other picture. This one reminds me I need to shave.Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Paelos on February 26, 2007, 03:33:44 PM Much better. I prefered the other picture. This one reminds me I need to shave.I just said fuck it and grew the mountain man beard for warmth during the winter. It's not the same, but beards are much more fun than I'd originally thought. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Signe on February 26, 2007, 03:50:48 PM It's cold here. I guess I'll try and grow a beard on my legs.
(you are more adorable without the beard, by the way) Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: WayAbvPar on February 26, 2007, 04:01:38 PM Much better. I prefered the other picture. This one reminds me I need to shave.I just said fuck it and grew the mountain man beard for warmth during the winter. It's not the same, but beards are much more fun than I'd originally thought. I can't do it. I get itchy as hell after about a week. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Paelos on February 26, 2007, 04:07:17 PM It's cold here. I guess I'll try and grow a beard on my legs. (you are more adorable without the beard, by the way) I'll shave it off after the Dallas Stars get knocked out the the playoffs. Hockey beards! Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Sky on February 27, 2007, 06:49:39 AM I just said fuck it and grew the mountain man beard for warmth during the winter. It's not the same, but beards are much more fun than I'd originally thought. It takes longer than that to be a mountain man!It is warm, though. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Der Helm on February 27, 2007, 07:49:24 AM It takes longer than that to be a mountain man! Aparently ...(http://www.mountainhomeplace.com/loumountainman2.jpg) Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: NiX on March 11, 2007, 02:26:08 PM I vote for the word Spartan to be used more.
"That fucker went Spartan!" Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Morfiend on March 11, 2007, 02:58:38 PM This thread is awesome.
Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Krakrok on March 11, 2007, 06:43:57 PM Very fancy. Title: Re: Awesome = Splendid. Post by: Samwise on March 11, 2007, 07:24:22 PM |
