HarryTheHookaMaster Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 QUOTE (ghostofdavid @ Dec 28 2007, 05:29 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Language, and how people use it, is a mirror of the intelligencia of the culture. When society loses absolutes, words become meaningless, they are used in incorrect ways. The same thing happens to art and culture. Lines and splotches made with paint replace DiVinci as "art." E.G. Awesome, Awesome-Sauce, Wicked, Wicked-Sweet, etc.I had a really good friend who used the word awesome only when referring to theology. Why? It was the only topic he considered awe-inspiring. Even if you don't agree with his application of the word awesome, he is still using it appropriately. Back to bed for me!Wow, you hit that right on the head!It begs me to ask: Are we, as a culture, getting dumber.....or is life and culture moving at such a pace that some people find it hard to keep up?You friend is wise...Harry ( sitting out yet ANOTHER snow storm! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
