Husband uses the word awesome when he sees something terrible on the news. Drives me crazy.
Frank and Nancy look a wee bit annoyed at Luann.
Well, I’d like to know the answer! Way to confound everyone, Luann! You’re already showing your writing talents. :)
Many words have morphed meanings over the centuries. Some ‘bad’ words became good and vice versa
