A word that used to be used to describe a book, a movie or other work as timeless, great, and meaningful. Is now used by douchebags who combine it with "win" or "fail" to describe everyday things.
CORRECT usage:
Guy #1: Hey dude did you see the movie Gladiator?
Guy #2: Yeah man that was an epic movie!
INCORRECT usage:
DBag #1: I forgot my wallet so I had to go home and get it.
DBag #2: EPIC FAIL!
or
DBag #1: I found five dollars today.
DBag #2: EPIC WIN!

A word that is so played out by tools, douche bags, and advertising agencies to describe pointless crap that you can simply decide that someone is not a waste of space if they do not ever use it.
I have never heard of you using that shizz homey. That's why you're still down! You're the opposite of epic. Oh damn, I said it so please punch me in the face. I deserve it.

the act of being epic, applicable to an event, single action or happening that pushes the limits of 'awesomeness' into the realms of inexplicable fleeting brilliance.

(adjective) Awesome, kickass, or otherwise positive. Can be used to refer to anything but is usually referring to a particular event or action. The most common usages are "epic win" or "epic failure," and some prefer to type it in all caps. Occasionally people use the phrase "Epic ___" as a stand-alone sentence or phrase, always following a story about something considered Epic.
Example 1: "He's a blackbelt in karate, so when this asshole came up to him, he totally kicked the dude's ass. You should have been there, it was fucking Epic."
Example 2: "I'm a blackbelt in karate, so this asshole came up to me and I kicked his ass. Epic fucking win."
Example 3: "That asshole from down the street got his ass kicked today."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"EPIC WIN!"
Example 2: "I'm a blackbelt in karate, so this asshole came up to me and I kicked his ass. Epic fucking win."
Example 3: "That asshole from down the street got his ass kicked today."

"Yeah."
"EPIC WIN!"
