Something that, if you didn't already see it coming, would actually
blow your mind. Something you do see coming is never stunning, because even it had been an otherwise mind blowing action, which is a rare exception to most actions, rather than as common as annoying sports announcers make them sound, you still would have known your mind was going to be blown before it was blown, which would have eliminated any stun effect of the action. For example, a team that most people think would win a game isn't stunning, since no win is
guaranteed, and there are times a team isn't playing anywhere near one hundred percent, the reasons (not excuses, but
legitimate reasons) being endless, and they don't do well. It happens
all the time, even in the playoffs or games some are more desperate to win than they already usually are due to the game being what they think of as urgent or important. In reality anything can happen, so something would actually have to be rare to really be stunning, since stunning is as overused a word as awesome. Nowadays people describe people or things that are not awesome at all, with nothing awesome about them, as awesome. People do the same thing with the word stunning, they describe the most plain,
ordinary (and dull) things and people as stunning.
The bubbly girl always described herself and her own actions as stunning, as a
defense mechanism, but she was actually a plain girl that didn't do a whole lot that was
particularly stunning or even
interesting. She was never really as angry, spirited, or tough as she thought she was, since she hadn't really been through enough real pain or adversity as a kid, and thought that rejection was the most painful thing that could happen to somebody.
