    No, I use it regularly... And it is appropriate.

    I'm with Mooch on this.  I had a teacher in tech school that drove the whole class nuts by using "C" as the answer in 95% of his questions.  Once we figured out the pattern, we were expecting him to change things.  He never did, though.

    So you ended up with a "C" in that class?
    (Or were you part of the 5%?)

    I almost never ever use the word. So, no.

    The word I overuse is "idiot". Usually after I drop something and mutter "you clumsy idiot".

     In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

    Not sure but the acronym for my current software development project is EPIC (Engineering Project Information Center). Coincidence?

    My junior high school band was signed to Jet Set Records in 1967 that had a distribution deal with Epic Records.  That was truly "epic".

    Yes!!!, I would call that Epic but then that would make Donovan Epica as well not Jason, the real one with Mellow Yellow and Celtic Rock.

    Do you think the word "Epic" is over used?





    Compared to what?


    You ask a question without providing at least a minimal juxtaposition.


    Pfft.




    OK, Ja.... it's "over used".


    HTH.

    when it comes to the continual epic failures of congress, the word 'epic' can not be used enough.
