Agree/Disagree:

The word epic has lost its epicness due to overuse throughout all of everywhere.

tbh, I think it's a boring word now.

So… Epic is now Fail?

What about "Fail"?
The word fail has lost failure due to overuse throughout all of everywhere…?
I think it's an epic word now. Fail is now Epic. Epic is now Fail.

THEN WHO WAS EPIC FAIL?

People say Epic irl.
And that's terrible.

Epic is a constant word in my vocab, much like homeskillet and pure awesomeness. I try to use it as much as i can.

I only use the word epic when it comes to really long poems written by dead Greek dudes.

Also:

I'd agree that fail is also waning magnitude as well

I heard my German teacher describing something as an "epic fail."

And she's a mommy! D:

Epic is so overused now…I hear people using "EPIC FAIL" and "FAIL" all the time now and it gets quite annoying. (Esecially when something isn't epic, a fail, or an epic fail) It makes me cry. :I

Agreed. Fail and Epic are used too much irl. Now quick, somebody think of a new word!

When you commit suicide in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the words "Epic Fail" come up on the screen.

At first, I thought this made the game even more awesome.

Now, I rage every time I see it.

In my high school Semantics class, our teacher hated how "the younger generation" misuses the word "awesome" because of how rare a true feeling of awe actually is.

This is kind of the same thing, and I think it's awesome. :P

I've stopped using epic and awesome because of the overuse. I like thesauruses (thesaurasi?)

@Frek, I use homeskillet biscuit when talking to my white friends to be ironic. I hate slang, so it's pretty funny when I'm caught using joint(jawn), jawnski, triflin', or drawlin'. None of those words I know the meaning of, or slang-wise at least.

There was this one really annoying person who used to go to my School who would always yell "EPPPIIIICCCC FAAAAIIILLLL" whenever anybody other than him would talk. From my experiences with him, I became annoyed my someone over using "Epic Fail." I've now decided to stop using it as much as I possibly can, due to the fact that over usage of it is killing it off.
@Pterodactyl: I don't know very much slag at all. But (oddly enough) I can tell you that in Australia a "Technicolor Yawn" is slang for Vomiting.
