[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 369784, member: 27"] Social media allows certain words to become trendy. I see the annoying use of the term "iconic" all over social media, but no one uses it in regular conversation....nor do they use it correctly. "Oh, that scrambled egg dish was [I]iconic[/I]." "Your eye makeup is so [I]iconic.[/I]" "I watched her being[I] iconic [/I]for ten minutes." They use it as a synonym for "exceptionally good", but iconic means "worthy of worship or religious admiration". I guess it is representational of how everything is exaggerated on social media conversations and interactions. The eggs weren't just cooked well--they're worthy of sainthood. [/QUOTE]
