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.
