I really disliked this need that my generation had to make the most benign shit sound like it was life changing. "Met this legend!" or "It was Epic!" Please stop, none of this is true.
Thus is the continuing evolution of language. When people say, "this sandwich is awesome/terrific," nobody is bothered that they don't literally mean the sandwich has filled them with immense awe or terror. These are just the new words entering common parlance and being softened.
