I googled this for you.

You may find this interesting

http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/38606/what-gave-terrific-a-positive-connotation

 

tl;dr

It is similar to how words like bad, sick, or wicked have a positive connotation in modern slang usage. But in the case of terrific, it happened in the late 1800s and the "slang" meaning eventually became the default definition. If you read older literature you can still see original uses of the word, such as "a terrific headache" or "a terrific roar".

do you think this is problematic enough to trigger @blackdoll?

I'm concerned

 

nope because all he said was it, sucked which his opinion. It was like he said something that sound like he was stating facts, like they are only capable of hard songs, or whatever. And other words, there is nothing to clap back. like with the other people. not that they are saying anything in the first place or in a position to even open up their mouths. hehehe

My boyfriend of 5 years broke up with me. 

I put myself in such a shitty situation. 

I don't have a job/income right now, so we're living as roommates till I find a place.

 

This is awkward as fuck

 

Im sorry that sounds awful

whenever someone is purified/exercised by aoshi my friend says "~got their zag zigged" lol

 

speaking of i'm still waiting for aoshi to purify/exercise me and/or my friends

he's had his eyes set on us the past few times i've seen them 

last time he was literally rolling around the floor trying to get to us

also how did zigzag manage to make a song where you sit the whole time so fun??

 

ps xaa-xaa and shellmy are also killing it in the kansai scene¯\_(ツ)_/¯
