I have just spent six and a half hours glad handing a group of awesome People, and I'm fairly sure they found me awesome too! It was all most depressing. Canadians are nice, except for the few nasty ones, probably a bit like the rest of us?

Good God. You've hardly settled in and you're already doing awesome.

Your 2CV won't start in the morning.

Okay I'm getting it now...awesome is a Canadian word!!!...I should have known this, I bought my niece an 'Avril Lavigne Live DVD' a few years ago and out of 'pushy uncle nosyness' I watched it before I wrapped it up.
During the show she invited two members of the audience on to the stage and used this word merely because they told her how old they were...oh man that's awesome...

Is that in Spain? If so, I'm certain Canada wouldn't fit.

OTOH at a personal level you could choose Torrevieja over Canada, and perhaps you should. You might fit better.

How I HATE bloody awesome, every ten seconds you hear it here, and it is giving me the serious pip! I only typed it for fun, I'd never SAY it! If I hear 'I'ts all Good' one more time I may have a breakdown too!

It's not really any different to the overuse of the word BRILLIANT in the UK.

What exactly is the problem here???...I consider the word 'Awesome' to be a generally awesome word,...It relates to something that is directly apposed to 'shitty'. Therefore, I think 'awesome' is an awesome way to describe something that is awesome.
Furthermore, I think it is awesome that some awesome people are prepared to awesomely be enthusiastic about the awesome use of such an awesome word within such an awesomely open and awesomely universally accepted awesome vocabulary...
