Southern Californian, L.A. Basin-area. Derived from the common exclamation,"That's awesome!" The origination of "AUSS!" was usage in emails to avoid overusing "awesome" which has become commonplace in American
English to describe
people,events,achievements and so forth. Proponents describe "AUSS!" as, "As best of replacement for the beloved AWESOME! as we could come up with. We love "AWESOME!", but every skatepunk, housewife, contractor, teacher and
kid uses it. It's tired and needs a rest already."
It's best usage is in an email reply in all upper caps and with an explanation by itself. As an example,if someone proposes seeing the latest cool movie you can reply with the
single,"AUSS!" Levels of excitement
maybe expressed with additional exclamation points.
Level 1="AUSS!"
Level 2= "AUSS!!"
Level
3 to infinity= "AUSS!!!!!!!!!!!!..."
