<p>Epic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am sick of the use of the word "Epic".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Illiad and the Odyssey are Epic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The fact that some guy falls off his skateboard and smashes his face into a wall is not "epic", nor is it an "epic fail".</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And, also, will you damn kids get off my lawn!</p>

I was gonna say this.  It drives me nuts when someone says something like "I'm so hungry, I could <em>literally</em> eat a horse".  No, you idiot, you can <em>figuratively</em> eat a horse.  :D</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd also like to add anything that Dick Vitale says.  According to him, everybody is Unbelievable!, Awesome!, Brilliant!, Special!, Outstanding!...  Dick Vitale's world is just like Lake Wobegon, where everybody is above average...<br>
