So, maybe this is just an idea... A for Awesome (like this blog - not)

Well, I got myself thinking. To make this more interesting, I could randomly find a word every day (going from A-Z) and discuss it. Sounds boring but to an IB student... I'm about j***ing over this. So, I guess I'll start:

A for Awesome
Okay, I know you're thinking "Way to chose an interesting word", but hey, first I was thinking of abeyance, but there was no urban dictionary entry for that.
So...
Awesome according to Dictionary.com

  1. Inspiring awe: An awesome sight
  2. Showing or characterized by awe
  3. Slang. very impressive. That new white convertible is totally awesome
Alright, well let me get this one straight. It's not: That new white convertible is totally awesome. If you are saying awesome in the first place, you HAVE to say dude. A better sentence would be : Dude, that new white convertible is totally awesome. Wait, white convertibles are NOT awesome, that's just stupid. I'd be like: Way to waste your freaking money on a WHITE convertible, you'll definitely get all the chicks. A better sentence would be: Dude, That new red convertible is totally awesome. That's better.

Awesome according to UrbanDictionary.com
  1. Something Americans use to describe everything.
  2. A 'sticking plaster' word used by Americans to cover over the huge gaps in their vocabulary. It is one the three words which make up most American sentences.
Okay, not ALL americans say awesome all the time. Only surfers. And, frankly, awesome is not a sticking plaster. Sticking plasters are words like like or s***


Well, thats the end of my first in the A-Z Rando Word a day series!
