1. Homer's "The Odyssey" is epic.
|
Some idiot running into a door and falling on his ass is not epic.
I agree with you. It is one of the most overused words this decade, along with "literally".  |

19. What about "Bollocks"? Or "Codswallop"?

Either or both could be worked into lyrics.

12. Why did "epic" become popular in the first place?

Because "awesome" had lost its "awesomeness"?
