The word Awesome

The word awesome is overused.  Awesome doesn't mean awesome anymore, it just means cool+funny+youtube+zombies, which by the way, are also overused.  I know a word is overused when it makes it onto a breakfast cereal commercial.  "It's like a mouthful of awesome!"  I'll tell you what it's a mouthful of, a mouthful of stupid because that commercial is stupid.  Awesome, like other words in the past, now means the opposite of itself.  If someone says "That is awesome!"  I know that whatever preceded that statement is not awesome, but most likely something they saw on youtube or some  Facebook status or something related to zombies.  And is any of that truly awesome?  Of course not.  Facebook statuses, like everyone else on facebook, is an idiot.  Colliding galaxies, underwater colonies, time travel, those things are truly awesome.  A better word to describe a funny facebook status is dimwit.
