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:
 
It's a bit annoying, I don't really use it that much and I don't like it when people use it all the time. I remember people started saying it about 5 years ago and it's still going on now.
 
As others have already pointed out, it's become too overused now.

When the first Epic Fail pictures came about it was quite amusing. Everyone and their dog has run with the word these days, so it's lost what was epic about it.
 
I was using epic before it became popular. It's like when people started Rickrolling, I had been doing it for years before it became 'cool'.

Candyass.
 
Far worse things out there. Like when people start a sentence with 'So...' or say 'I was 'like' 10 years old then' which makes no sense. Over use of the word 'basically' and the common miss spelling of 'etc...'

Can’t say ive ever been annoyed by words or how people say things. If I understand what they mean then it doesnt matter how they say it.

I understand a few things are over used due to memes and jokes but I usually just brush by them and not care about it.

As for people liking it or saying it before it became “cool” or did it before everyone else, grow up and stop acting like a kid. Surely if you like something and share it you want other people to join in on it? Or do you just want to retain it for yourself to keep your elitist status?

All the little teenagers are saying it, however I really think it originated from us Geek overlords.

Smite those who use our saying :p
