A) The true sense of the word is to describe something that inspires
awe, a feeling of being overcome by ecstatic wonder, all in all a rather powerful word.
B) But this is an Urban
Dictionary & unfortunately this word has now completely lost its power & meaning, with
help from the American media & Hollywood (& skateboarding turtles), now, when you hear someone say "Awesome", their probably referring to a massive zit they've just discovered on their
face! So I guess it's up to you how you use it; the way it's been used by poet's & enthusiasts over the century's, or the inarticulate American stoner way......dude!
