It seems to be a common trend among students with long hair who drink a lot. Not seen a lot of guys over 23 use it.

Seems to be used on the forum a lot. Must be a computer geek thing :p

Is it just me? Or do you also hate the word being used?

*Awaits daft responses including the word :D*

What bugs me about it is the misappropriation of the word for things that are just slightly better/worse than average, it means that when something genuinely is epic in the proper sense of the word that it doesn't get described properly e.g. the scale of the universe or walking to the North Pole by yourself with nothing more than a tin of Spam and some Kendal Mint Cake get lumped in with receiving an extra 20p in your change or finding out that you got some extra coleslaw with your burger "what an epic win that is".

If the word is used correctly then I've still got no problem with it but I find myself cringing slightly when I hear people using it for anything and everything regardless of context.

I have to agree with this. I think it's the over use of the word that bugs me... it's used all the time.

If it was used properly, it's be cool :cool:
 
Look up the word in the urban dictionary. The first result proves the point! It's way over used by everyone and their dog. It would be fine if it wasn't used all the time as already mentioned by a few others in here.

When you drag something out for years and bury it into the floor then spit on it... it becomes very "uncool."

There's plenty of other words to replace it. People wont all of a sudden be half way through a sentence and then freeze in speech because there is no other word to fill the gap.
 
I propose if "E*** FAIL" reaches 100 first. Whoever uses the word in the forums after that should be banned for 2 hours and there name changed to something degrading :D

Heaven forbid the other wins... then people should be free to over use it and milk the life out of the word all they like without anyone laughing or shaking their heads at them :)
