Stupid little things that bug you

[Big Joe Corrigan]

The inappropriate use of the word amazing. It’s not amazing that I’ll be in Tuesday or amazing that that my gas meter is in a cupboard outside or amazing you can park outside my house. Some fleas can jump over 200 times their own body length, that’s amazing.

Amazing post mate.

Quite right. I read reviews on Trip Adviser about pubs or hotels and find that "the chips wwere amazing" or "the staff were amazing", or even "the bread was amazing".
I have never been amazed by a chip or some bread in my life.
For some reason, it is used o mean "very good", which is a total misuse of the word.

Totally agree, what's wrong with just saying everything is awesome. ;)

Having watched "The Piano" recently, Lang Lang described virtually every performance as "amazing". Lost its impact after a while!

We would have to see pics of you and Tuesday in order to determine whether or not it would be amazing.

Buying alcohol free gin at the supermarket and yet they still insist on Gladys coming over and doing the RU18 check at the "smart" checkout. Bizarre.
