This week's Thesaurus Thursday was co-blogged by the ever-so-sexy Bill, who chose the word 'bitch' as his overused word of the week.
He also just informed me of the fact that he thought a commercial for Hallmark was supposed to be about pedophiles.
Isn't he the best?

Thesaurus Thursday

For almost a year now, I've noticed an overabundance of the word 'amazing'. And it is truly beginning to piss me off. No, the treats I made were NOT amazing. They were Rice Krispies treats decorated with frosting, for Christ's sake. And if that honestly stops you in wonder, man, you need a HOBBY. The excellent Roget's New Millennium Thesaurus offers up the following as alternatives.

anomalous, astonishing, astounding, awesome, extraordinary, fabulous, fantasmo, far out, freakish, gas, heavy, incredible, inexplicable, magical, marvelous, monstrous, numinous, phenomenal, preternatural, prodigious, spectacular, staggering, strange, stupefying, stupendous, superhuman, superior, supermundane, supernatural, supranatural, thaumaturgic, the utmost, too much, unaccountable, unbelievable, unearthly, unimaginable, unreal, wonderworking, wondrousaces, astonishing, astounding, bang-up, best, breathtaking, cool, crack, dilly, doozie, extravagant, fab, fantastic, fictitious, first class, gone, greatest, groovy, immense, in spades, inconceivable, incredible, legendary, marvelous, mind-blowing, out-of-this-world, outrageous, peachy, phenomenal, primo, prodigious, rad, remarkable, spectacular, striking, stupendous, super, superb, terrific, top drawer, tops, turn-on, unbelievable, unreal, wicked, wondrous

Which raises the question for me, as a New Englander: whatever happened to 'wicked'??
