Awesome lost its appeal in the 90's cause I think it reflected too much of that late 80s geighness... but I feel its making a strong cultural push due to acceptance, cause awesome is just a great word that covers a lot of ground. It fills a void.
So much better than spectacular, sensational is weak, impressive doesn't quite cover it, amazing... over used and again not quite as fun, grandiose... trying to hard, magnificent... -If you are a euro, you can get away with that one-
I dig awesome.
Never abandoned her, even when she was seen as outdated and lame.
