What’s an “epic?”
Rodent. Can you look in a dictionary or search online the word “epic” before you publicize your ignorance of the English language? Didn’t go to school?
Wasn’t Elton John considered epic?
John, yeah I went to school and learned that Jon Wayne westerns were epics, not an event planned for over a year in the future.
Rodent. LOL. Events are always planned in advance. It’s always the future, never the past. Epic has several nuanced meanings depending of the context.
A word, whose meaningful definition(s)and correct applications are now obscured and have been raped to death mostly by the 25 and under crowd. It has been overused as “the” catch phrase used to describe a situation, person, event, movie, taking a shit,etc. The abuse and birth as a catchphrase has its origins among avid gamers and pretentious English majors.
There are too many “epic” examples to count, just go walk onto a college campus and listen closely.
