    I keep hearing this word being used in mundane situations and it is really getting on my nerves! (mostly it is imported on films from the U.S) Does everybody else feel the same?

    It doesn't annoy me.

    LOL - me neither and I say it quite a bit, and my little avatar on my profile says it too ... Probably just a difference in culture/countries.

    It is a conspiracy by usurpers to gain control of the English language and cause the hereditary keepers of English to abandon it.

    I say it frequently and hear it everywhere. It doesn't bother me at all. Like all slang it will eventually fade out and a new word will take its place.

    Don't get into laws, you will lose

    WICKED apparently is better than Awesome
    Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
    It doesn't happen over night
    if truth were to be told.

    Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
    you must believe!

    I say wicked a lot more than I say awesome, though I still say awesome quite a bit. The new one popping up lately that really irks me is "bro", or as the guys say it "brah"...all it is "yo brah that was wicked" "brah brah brah don't shoot over there shot this bad guy!", "yeah brah we got it done"...stop it you are not cool.
    There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.

    I don't mind wicked, reminds me of sex.

    Awesome is a word that people say to something they think is out of their "Word " for anything they cannot Describe in a Feeling.

    Being Older than most here ..

    We went for Super, Cool. Coolie, Harley, Spiffy, Far Out. 4:20, Geeks. Radical

    Check and now at this young 56 it's the word " Nice".

    Nice is the end of a conversation.

    When you are conversing with a person and you say " nice" it does mean I want you or other things,

    It is not a flirt, It's Nice .
    it's a thought.

    We must remember, Nice is just a thought .
