O for Awesome

A term made popular by the professional heavyweight boxing champion David Tua when he appeared on the New Zealand version of the popular gameshow 'Wheel of Fortune' sometime in the mid 1990's asking to play the letter "'O' - for 'Awesome'" (or 'Orsome', as it must have appeared to David at the time). Whether he asked for an 'A' or an incorrect 'O' he was still incorrect because he was supposed to ask for a consonant, not a vowel. This moment became a classic moment in New Zealand television history, still being talked about years after this moment occured. Many would blame David Tua's mistake on the fact that he has been punched in the head too many times throughout his career, others would blame it on the fact that he is a 'fresh' islander.

The term 'O for Awesome!' has become a positive expression of excitement meaning 'fantastic!' or 'cool!' used by people of many backgrounds throughout the world, with most people unaware of the origins of this term of expression.

Totally Awesome

A catchphrase made popular by various High-School Bimbos and Darren Criss of StarKidPotter. Used in reference to something cool and fun; more than partly awesome. Can be heard many times within "A Very Potter Musical" (formerly known as "HP the Musical") both in song and speech form. It is now a phrase widely used within the Harry Potter fandom (thank you, Darren).
Harry Potter:
I'll cast some spells, with a flick of my wand
Defeat the dark arts, yeah bring it on!
And do it all with my best friend Ron,
'Cause together we're Totally Awesome

Or

Draco Malfoy:

This year, you bet, I'm gonna get outta here
The reign of Malfoy is drawing near
I'll have the greatest wizard career,
And its gonna be Totally Awesome
