Overladen words of the year

Two words I can't bear hearing any more:

  • Awesome. Only used by Americans. They use it when things don't quite totally suck. Then it is awesome.
  • Community. Wikipedia defines the word as a social group of organisms. The big deal seems to be to form a community for project abc, join and then forget about it. Quite awesome.

Certain to pop up soon: awesome community.

    Awesome = Awsome IS actually mentioned in the Shorter Oxford Dictionary. - In small print.

    It is, I mean, you know, like "reverential, inspiring awe, appalling, weird" and all that stuff.
