    Worst, most overused word is "random". The context in which it is used is almost never correct.

    "Icon" when used to describe Lady GaGa.

    And if he isn't paid to do the job?

    Yes it's annoying, very.

    We'll just have to invent a new word for stuff that's actually legendary.
    Supermegatronic or something.

    Epic Fail is also an annoying one. Maybe just cos I'm getting old.

    I'm using "supermegatronic" from now on.

    Brilliant...
    Ahem, i mean "very good". :)

    I think any discriptive for a golfer that goes beyond "he's just some guy walking around a park hitting balls with a stick" is probably hyperbole.

    Mark Twain observed correctly "golf is a good walk spoiled". What a living legend that guy was!

    Everyone is a bloody hero nowadays, and it means that there is no word adequate to describe a man who runs into a burning building to rescue two people and a cat.

    This thread fills a much needed gap in the market.
