We turned up on time to a pub dinner booking and according to the lady doing front of house this was amazing. The food was amazing - No it was very good/nice but food is not amazing
You're going on holiday to Spain? Amazing - No, it's just a holiday
How are you guys? Great thanks. Amazing - What is?
Perhaps they get a lot of no-shows?

"Good thanks"
"Amazing"

Oh and while im at it, season, when refering to tv shows, its a fking series, now sod off.
It depends on what you are talking about. People using the word season has come about mainly due to the rise or Netflix so it has given us many Americanisms. In the US a TV series is the show itself such as “The Big Bang Theory” and a season is a run of that series. They are called seasons because they are launched at specific times of year that coincide with spring, summer etc. In that context, with an American show, it is correct to call it a season. Have we had “super” used as an adverb yet?
“Super excited to have you here”
“Super difficult to learn”
“Super pleased with my new car”
What was wrong with “very”?
And whilst I am here, I’m not so much sick of hearing but just perplexed by the rapid turnover of adjectives the kids use. Seems to me that they are now matching words and meaning at random.
I showed my son my newly acquired 1980s Bang & Olufsen system and he declared it “hard”. This meant ‘stylish’ apparently, as opposed to ‘difficult to operate’. I wouldn’t mind but it will be a different word next month.

...I cant imagine their leccy product line giving most PH'ers the fizz. We will get a nice handling but heavy leccy sports car but then what...
Leccy ETA: I've attempted to anonymise the author and I actually agree with them, it's just the use of "leccy" that I find rather annoying.

Oh you are so right. That American throbber who cleans cars is one of the worse offenders. "This Trans Am was super dirty after 3,000 years stored in a pit of monkey faeces".“Super excited to have you here”
“Super difficult to learn”
“Super pleased with my new car”

plus at 26-30 episodes, if shown weekly the run can last many months, from summer to winter.
