I'm not really sure when this happened, but I can no longer, soberly, use the word awesome.
The contemporary usage, derived out of early 90s pop culture, is exploding linguistically at exponential rate and its use has become feckless and vapid.
It should only be used in its more archaic form: a sinuous emotional combination of wonder, veneration and dread.
I should note, no one attending this funeral will go with more grief than myself.
