    This would be epic thread-ophilia, if only you okes didn't ruin it with the epic use of the word epic.

    I remember this thread!

    It has aged like a fine wine and now offers even more flavoursome lulz.

    it's a shame though because 'epic' has no equals. There are no other words that have the same meaning and power in either the regular English vocabulary or the internet one

    R.I.P Epic

    Yeah and it was brought into general use in the English language by gamers, so I think you're right. It's a word that belongs in the internet (read: gamer) dictionary and will never have an equal.

    This thread is just gaining such epic responses that I find it well 'wicked', in fact absolutely 'bosh' with a big dollop of 'PUKKA' to boot.

    The thesaurus says that epic means gigantic or colossal. How does size realte to something that is awesome.
    That was an epic headshot.
    That was a sizeable headshot.

    I cast my vote for "exemplary" to be the new word of choice.

    That was an exemplary headshot.
    I dare say, that was an exemplary headshot, ol' chap.


    And if that fails I'm rooting for "legit". Preferably followed by either "dude" or, for additional emphasis, "bro".

    That was a legit headshot.
    That was a legit headshot, bro.


    Worst case scenario everything can just be "boss" again.
