I recently put out a tweet about no longer using certain words after getter numerous questions to why I was using words no one had ever heard of nor understood.
It just came to my attention one day that I was always using the same three words: cool, awesome and amazing and realised it was time for a change.
So I have put those words to bed for now and have replaced them with three new words: ace, boss and brilliant.
I picked up ace and brilliant a few years ago from some friends in the UK. Seems these are quite popular words there more so then here in the States.
I took boss from my parents. Apparently this was quite the word in the late sixties and seventies along with another word 'solid' but I have not adopted that one just yet. Maybe in my next round of word replacement I will pick that one up too.
I will still use the word fantastic to but only because I have always liked that one myself.
So I hope that explains my madness. Then again I'm not sure if there are words to explain how 'mad' I really am!
