I THINK SO!
Excellent started out as just an adjective.
Something simple.
It was part of a sentence to describe something else.
In the 80s,(my era, thank you very much) Excellent! as the total sentence came to be.
Bill & Ted had what kind of adventure?
Excellent!
That's right.
Throughout the 90s it endured.
Wayne and Garth not only partied on, but did it in an "Excellent!" way.
If it is totally great-in a "Most excellent!" way.
To this day, Mr. Burns from "The Simpson's" says "Excellent" with his fingers linked all creepy like.
Now, where am I going with this?
I really don't know.
Excellent is my word and I am sticking with it.
Now, go out and have a most excellent day!

You very elegantly elucidated the enigma of excellent.
ReplyDeleteExtraordinary!
Oh, you flatterer you!
DeleteThat was a most excellent post! I think I'm stuck on the word "awesome" though.

Awesome is an excellent word too. I use it a lot myself. :)
DeleteTruly excellent - but not so much as Mr. Burns would say it!
ReplyDeleteThanks.I think that is a very good thing.
DeleteWishing you an excellent Easter!
ReplyDeleteYou have an excellent Easter too, Mohamed
DeleteExcellent is an excellent word.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me of Mr. Burns' creepy/evil, "Excellent." I always got a kick out of him saying that.
My kids love "The Simpsons" They even talk and text in the language used in the show. Fun post. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteThanks Munir, I remember when Bart made "Don't have a cow, man!" a phrase all the kids used to say.
DeleteThis is fun, Ruth. You're rocking the challenge. The picture of Mr. Burns is a great touch. I'm trying not to joke about how excellent you and the post are. That wouldn't be original, though it would be true.

Thank you Robyn. I am trying not to take it too seriously.
DeleteYou are sweet!
Excellent!
ReplyDeleteMy word is awesome.. I say it a whole lot :)
That's a good word too! :)
DeleteI say 'excellent' a lot. When I realised, and tried not to overuse it, I started saying 'fantastic' a lot!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it when we overuse a word, we tend to replace that word with another word? Not 2 or 3, just one? Cause I do that too!
DeleteAha, but when you wished us an excellent day did you have your fingers curled in a creepy way?
ReplyDeleteI was more thinking of Wayne in Wayne's World when I wrote it.
DeleteHmm, since Easter is coming up, maybe it should be "Egg-cellent?" :)
ReplyDeleteHappy A-Z!
It should!
DeleteAhh...most excellent post indeed!
ReplyDeleteNot much more to add, other than my "excellent" day started with a wonderful run, a wee walk with my dog, sitting here visiting my regular haunts (taking a break from the co-hosting gig) then it's outside to weed my flowerbeds. Yup, and if all goes according to plan...it will have been "Excellent!" indeed.
Happy Easter...or Happy Excellent weekend - either way, enjoy!

You have a great week-end too, Jenny.
DeleteIt does sound like an excellent day.
My life would be excellent if I found chocolate I could eat. Until then, it's only great.
ReplyDeleteI know, right about know I could go for some really dark chocolate.
DeleteI loooovvve Mr. Burns and I saw Bill and Ted's EXCELLENT adventure in the theatre! yeah...thats right! also the 80s was the best and most magical decade of all (i am a child of the 80s so I can say that, if i had been an adult I may have felt differently!)
