I think I’m noticing a trend with English words:

  • “cool” used to mean “a bit cold” but now it mostly means “good”
  • “awesome” used to mean “inspiring awe” but now it mostly means “good”
  • “fantastic” used to mean “fantastical” but now it mostly means “good”
  • “incredible” used to mean “unbelievable” but now it mostly means “good”
  • “amazing” used to mean “inspiring amazement” but now it mostly means “good”
Except for “shit”. It is still being used to express annoyance, anger, poor quality or surprise. Or, in some cases, a very inconpetent political leader.
