Why can\u2019t we sneak in a bit of awesome, a tad of amazing, and maybe a smidge of wonderful?

Others get their fix from the spiritual, but I\u2019ve been harbouring a grudge against God since my mother stopped me going to Arsenal after my Barmitzvah \u2014 forty-nine years ago. \u201cGod will be watching,\u201d she said.
