“Not everything is EPIC, you shitheads” by Maddox

0 Comments 26 June 2012

It is really annoying when people put in their status updates or twitter posts or whatsoever some remarks like below:

 

Since “epic” seemed to be used in many many ways, I first looked it up on the internet and found this on wiktionary.com:

2. A series of events considered appropriate to an epic.

The book was an epic in four volumes.

 

Maddox explains the meaning of epic, its usage and why it should be used a certain way. Apparently, he was annoyed at the word as I was.

So when you dipshits ascribe the word “epic” to banal things like the new Tron poster (not even the entire movie, just the poster), and children’s games like “duck duck goose,” you cheapen the word and water it down so it just becomes a sound you make, like a grunt when you approve of something. And it’s not just used for approval, it’s also used to describe minor disappointments, like having to restart a DVD because it skipped. Now every minor inconvenience is an “EPIC FAIL.” And if it’s cool, it’s not just cool but an “EPIC WIN.” And for the record, fail is a verb, and is something you do, like fail at English. The act of failing is “failure,” and is a noun. People can be failures, but they can’t be “fails.” That doesn’t make sense. So when you miserable pieces of shit say “epic fail,” what you really mean is “epic failure.”

Reading the article will help you understand the meaning and usage of that often misused word.
