RE: In Defense of Average Days

I prefer average days. They tend to be less tiring than horrid days or wonderful days.

I remember when "neat" and "cool" were the common superlatives. The first time I heard "awesome" was in the early '80s, and it continues to be used to describe events or items that are definitely NOT awesome. I am reminded of an expression from about 100 years ago: "It's the cat's pajamas." It doesn't make much sense, but I prefer it to "awesome" when describing something that impresses me.
