That's Epic

I love how people use the word Epic.


"That movie was soooo epic."


"That macaroni and cheese was epic."


Actual mattress commercial: "back pain in epic proportions."


"The Civil War was epic."


Really, people, really.


I figure the Civil War was probably epic, but do you really know what epic means?


Dictionary.com defines Epic as "1. noting or pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style: Homer's Iliad is an epic poem. 2. resembling or suggesting such poetry: an epic novel on the founding of the country. 3. heroic; majestic; impressively great: the epic events of the war. 4. of unusually great size or extent: a crime wave of epic proportions."


Use it correctly.  Or else.


"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16


Now that's epic.
