I've noticed, now that I have the time, that one of the most overused words is "amazing". Take a listen to see if I may be right. It's the "go to" word for anyone who has no better way of explaining something superior, surprising, interesting or great. I was watching one of those House Hunter episodes and the woman used the word amazing at least 25 times in that half hour to describe a house's features.. "What an amazing deck"
When I hear that word I think of one of my favorite childhood entertainers - The Amazing Randy... Now, this guy WAS amazing and deserved the moniker. He was the original cool magician. Now they have this reality show - the Amazing Race...Is it really amazing? It should be called the 'annoying foreigners at the airport and arguing on national TV' race. It's hardly amazing. What amazes me is how they recruit people for this show. Maybe most of them are unemployed or they got rejected by Survivor..Amazing!!
