Awesome
Thought I would just re-explain Awesome. A valid word, not just slang. A very positive and affirmative word.
Started religious, Became Secular, and Then "Vogue"
But heres the dictionary definition:
awesome
c.1600,
"profoundly
reverential,"
from
awe
+
-some
.
Meaning
"inspiring
awe"
is
from
1670s;
weakened
colloquial
sense
of
"impressive,
very
good"
is
recorded
by
1961
and
was
in
vogue
from
after
c.1980.
