E for Epic

Okay, my day has definitely not been epic, because I have to write this stupid outline for english and I have to ideas/motivation. But here it is:


Dictionary.com definition:

1. noting or pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style:Homer's Iliad is an epic poem.
   
2. resembling or suggesting such poetry: an epic novel on the founding of the country.
   
3. heroic; majestic; impressively great: the epic events of the war.
   
4. of unusually great size or extent: a crime wave of epic proportions.
   

Well, Homer's Iliad might have literally been an epic, but it wasn't epic. It was just long and boring and hard to read. 3 is good though. I really have nothing to say.

UrbanDictionary.com definition:

1. Being unusually large, powerful or wonderful. On a grander scale than the modified word would otherwise imply. 
   
2. the most overused word ever, next to fail. for even more ******* points, use them together to form "epic fail." 
   
3. Awesome, kick***, or otherwise positive. Can be used to refer to anything but is usually referring to a particular event or action. The most common usages are "epic win" or "epic failure," and some prefer to type it in all caps. Occasionally people use the phrase "Epic ___" as a stand-alone sentence or phrase, always following a story about something considered Epic.

 So yeah. This is more like it! Although I really don't use the term epic, this is what I was thinking. But it really is overused. Everything is epic nowadays, epic computer, epic car, epic tomato...

LIST TIME! Things that are truly epic:

• The new iMac (27 inch)
• The Beatles
• Artichokes
• Toe socks
• Babysitting rich people's kids
• Jimi Hendrix
• Music
• The Walden School
• Les Paul guitars
• the list goes on...

So yeah, that's epic for ya. Thanks for reading!
