    I'd like to say that the use of the word epic in any way, shape, or form other than discussing Gilgamesh should be met with a firm punch to the junk. Wayyyy overused.

      I hear you - 'epic' has been cheapened through overuse . The word 'epic' in the modern idiom is merely 'quite good '. My personal bugbear is 'defiantly ' meaning 'definitely'. The two words have different meanings. Oh, and 'bae' . Why is it necessary to lose one letter from 'babe' ? Isn't that just the height of laziness ? The word 'babe' is already slang, but even so... anyways, so I'm pedantic, but please. Predictive text is making people lazy. Rant over. K, bye

        bae = before anyone else; used to knockout the whole premature 'I love you' issue with something that is easy to say and conveys a strong bond. I'm not a fan of it, I just say I love someone, but that sentiment extends to a large number of people. Not everyone quite gets it. bae fixes that.

          Okay - it's an acronym. I didn't get that ! Thanks !

      Epic just makes me think of the color purple. I blame my many years of World of Warcraft for this.
