NINA -- No, It's Not Awesome!



AWESOME – the most over-used and over-stated word in the social media.

The Oxford Dictionary definition: extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring awe.

The social media definition: mostly used as a lazy substitute for considered comment on just about anything.

On behalf of my recently-established organisation, NINA (No, It’s Not Awesome), I helpfully offer a random selection of alternative words and phrases:

Very nice
Excellent
Elegant
Most attractive
Most interesting
Clever
Wonderful
Beautiful
Enjoyable
Super
Strewth!
Bloody hell!
Inspiring
Charming 
Intellectually challenging
Classy
You've done well
