this thread is EPIC. If you don't like aussie accent, get rid of the aussies, not a word that has decribed many of my days this year
Epic, adj.
1.Surpassing the usual or ordinary, particularly in scope or size: “A vast musical panorama... it requires an epic musical understanding to do it justice” (Tim Page).
2.Heroic and impressive in quality: “Here in the courtroom... there was more of that epic atmosphere, the extra amperage of a special moment” (Scott Turow).
Ps i don't like most aussies. but i don't hate them and i wasnt directing any of my rant towards them.
Im just simply sick of people saying these same words all the time when i know they heard it from someone else who thinks their super duper cool.
Just like when i came to whistler. I called lots of people noobs and used the word uber alot. No it seams like everyone says uber and calls everyone noobs.
if your going to use those words at least use them modestly.
yeh, well you ski our shitty hills and 2 powder days a season, then come over here and get a season full of powder or awesome park, on a fuck off big mountain, and try to come up with a less common words then 'epic' or 'heaps good' whne adrenaline is running through your brain or your just too blown away by what you just experienced.
Your very right. It was a strong point i forgot to make when i began this thread.
The definition of the word epic may have to very different meanings in this town.
I sort of got carried away and forget to explain that very point. People really do use it often to complament almost anything. Why not just say the mountain is beautiful today or if your really looking for a groovy word to describe a certain something you may use the word Steller. lol, but even the word steller is widely used and the definitions and the usage of the word still aren't the same.
Ultimately why try to use words to sound cool, when you can talk intelligently and in really cooler.
But. I do sometimes use these words but i try use them mockingly. When i do use them i hear myself in my mind and know i sound stupid using them.
