pronounced: "Awesome-with-a-capital-'X'"
An exclamation of celebration, usually used when articulating positive
feelings towards news that was just received. Conveys the enthusiasm beyond that of simply "awesome" by emphasizing what is not only a capital letter, but one which doesn't belong in the word at all.
The
spelling (but not the pronunciation) of this word was made famous on
www.homestarrunner.com (H*R) by the "aweXome cross '98" event, and subsequent video game.
