I over-heard someone say "awesometastic" today. A combination of "awesome" and "fantastic"?

Go figure, it was a teenager. Roll Eyes

Americans cannot be blamed for the word "awesome", it was around before we were.
We have however, updated it's use to fit in more modern times.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/awesome

Quote:

Etymology

Early Modern English 1590-1600, awe +‎ -some

Usage notes

The oldest meaning of "awesome" is "something which inspires awe", but the word is also a common slang expression in English. As the original meaning of awesome has become somewhat antiquated in general use, the term awe-inspiring is now generally used for the same meaning.

American - an awesome form of bastardized English, dude!

Guy/Guys http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy

I am curious to know when it first originated in North American speech patterns?

I first became aware of it, (and Chewing Gum), when the "Yanks" came over to Britain during WWII.

I cant recall it being used before the 20th Century in the USA?

It is often used by Folks around the rest of the World now trying to mimic USA Citizen speech patterns!

I abhor the use of it outside of the USA!....The BBC and its employees, for instance!.!

I hate it when people use the word "guy" in reference to objects like in the dictionary example above. It's an object, not a person. I also don't like it when people call other people guy because they don't know their name, for example "Hey guy, how ya' doing?". Dude, man, sir, anything but guy. Maybe it bothers me because my boss's name is Guy. Undecided

That term, or abbrevitaed "Ya know," is utilized over here, although probably not as much as it's utilised near your doorstep.

On your big blip in the sea you use the word 'chap' -- over here, chaps are wrapped to the shins of Cowboys (or, more to your pleasure, ocassionally to the shins of cowgirls).

I'm just wondering what the 'English' speakers of 1050 AD would think of the ~~Frenchifrying~~ (your language has been French Fried!) Frenchifying of English speach.
