Squee!

[elisi]

Taking a tiny little moment to squee over the icon lmbossy made for me! Isn't it awesome? ('Awesome' never used to be part of my vocabulary before LJ... *g*)

I feel like saying a prayer of thanksgiving... all together now: "One one zero one zero zero one..."

Great icon!

"Awsome" isn't a word you used to use? Very interesting. I grew up in the pacific northwest in the 80s and it was the word for a while there-- our parents probably said "cool".

It's definitely an American expression. In the UK people use 'cool', 'wicked', 'brilliant' etc.

Interesting. When I was a teenager (ie when it actually mattered!) "Cool" was (again, at least on the isolated oregon coast) something our parents said. The surfer boys said "Awesome". I only remember hearing "Brilliant from a scottish sitcom star.

I of course thought I was much to cool to use any of the above without heavy doses of irony; and categorically refused to play hacky-sack. God, i was insufferable!

I think most teens are insufferable one way or the other. Thank goodness we mellow with age! *g*
