I can't stand trendy catch phrases!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (My dad's voice still rings in my head, even though he's been gone 15 years now. "Be a leader, not a follower, Susan. Don't be a sheep!") Okay, now that I've had my breakdown over this, LOL, here are some other words that can be used in its place! astounding, extraordinary, fantastic, marvelous, miraculous, outstanding, preternatural, prodigious, rare, remarkable, sensational, singular, substantial, uncommon, unique, unparalleled, unusual, unwonted, wondrous. ANYTHING BUT PHENOMENAL, PLEASE!!!

Okay...words for phenomenol...hmmm.... rad tubular gnarly bodacious honkin' killer excellent (must be said with Jeff Spiccoli accent) To the Max kickin' h.o.t. But since this is PoTC I will say: Avast! Arrr! I'll have to think of more later. I have to go be piratey at work now. LOL. ;P (and if I knew MoP better I'd totally make fun of her for saying "preternatural". ;-P)

Originally Posted By deadmentellnotales when I worked in the sign industry we would use the term pop, as do the decorators because it's true when used in those terms but them it flowed over to every aspect and became generalized. Phenomenal is that way now, of course we just say it's "trick"

Another reason why I LOVE Chickie* D*!!! Had a miserable day at work, and behold; the "outstanding" mirth begins!! "Outstanding" used 57 times during the American Music Awards when Lionel Ritchie hosted, in 1984!!
