(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm getting a little tired of hearing the word "epic". The other day I was watching a little tv, and on THREE different commercials I heard the actors or narraters say things like; "you can win EPIC prizes!", "I'm epic win.." and "epic win for gamers". I understand that it's fun to say and it's a cool word and all. But seriously. I think we're taking it a little to far now.

When epic started, it was used as "epic fail". Now, virtually everything has epic slapped in front of it and it's getting ridiculous. Marketing firms think it'll relate the shitty products they're selling to gamer kids or anyone who's heard the term used loosely by saying the word epic in the ad campaigns. That has to stop. I like saying "epic". But if it keeps gaining in popularity as it has been, it'll become a used up word that no one uses, like "bitchin' " or "rad", because it's been said too much.

What are we supposed to do though? We can't just call up companies and say "stop fucking saying epic you retards. It's like my parents using the word 'chill' or 'fag' or something." The only thing I can think of is to boycott the products of companies trying to use this tactic, but that would be impossible for all the little gaming nerds in the world to do. But, if that were to happen, it would let the companies know that something they're doing isn't working and might pull the plug on trying to sound hip and cool by using an internet slang word.

I guess I'm just ranting about something that can't be fixed, again...

Yeah it is getting a bit annoying, even when playing CoD you always get off kids "That was an EPIC kill dude". Hate the word to bits, someone should seriously find the person who started the "EPIC" craze and kill him/her.

I'll admit I am guilty to using that word from time to time, but I am also watching how much I say it. I guess the commercials and friends that I socialize with (who use the word) has a greater influence in how often a person uses certain vocabulary.

I'll agree that some modern vocabulary should be avoided or not used as often as it is being used currently.

You're one of the few epic guys on here.

..wat the hell waz the point of this thread?..ur saying it like half of the population on NGU* r 10yr olds and ur the nanny taking care of us..., im pretty sure that word isnt used as often anymore, and yes ppl use that word too much but it life so chill bro..

Wow.. the people on this site amaze me... Anyways, I have to agree. When I'm chatting with my friends they say stuff like "want to see something epic" or " That was the epicest thing I've ever seen." Its getting over used.. Its just plain out annoying.

It's a word.

And I suppose you're an authority on what does and doesn't "deserve a thread" now.

In that case:

All seriousness, you're a "good kid" but you don't deserve membership to this website.


Oh, sorry. That's just my opinion. But it counts though.



I like the variety this thread is producing. Some are on the side of my argument, and some aren't. Hell, some might call that a discussion or debate.
Seems to me like that's a "point" for the thread. No?

I remember when epic was a kind of story. I agree, it's an overused adjective.
