New words of praise

Posted: 12/9/03 at 3:16pm

We English speakers sometimes get lazy and over-use words or phrases until they lose their original meaning or are completely played out. "Can you hear me now?" "Is that your final answer?" "Amazing!"

What new words can we try out to describe enjoyable experiences that are neither "awesome" nor "amazing?"

I would like to suggest "wondrous." Or, perhaps, "stupefying."

You mean TURNING that into a word of praise, the way bad meant good for a while?

Yes! Actually since I have the privelage of spending most of my day with adolescents I tend to be up on all the hip lingo. And these days whack means good. Therefore it would be appropriate for me to say that Al Pacino's performance in Angels in America was whack.

astonishing, majestic, and yeah stupefying (nice, namo) but in certain circumstances, usually relating to helena bonham carter or famke janssen being naked: scintillating (yeah, i know but it also can mean sparkly dammit and well...)
