Due to current misuse and overuse, the A word has been downgraded. It now sits somewhere in-between 'meh' and 'whatever'.
The other "A" word, AMAZING, has also been downgraded to meaning 'quite good'.
In a similar way, 100% is no longer good enough as a benchmark for sportsmen.
Amazeballs = not too bad
Epic is still OK, though?
No!!!Quote:

Epic is still okay. Going outside in the rain. Riding a bike any distance. Anywhere. Anytime, and brewing up for more than 2, is Epic!Quote:

Wanker. Heard him groaning on about some twerking party he went to a couple of months back, what is that anyway??? probably just something else to keep the children tuned in and their ADHD topped up.

Having said that, anyone who listens to Radio1 should be humanely put out of their misery.Quote:

I thought stoked was a Strine saying.Quote:
