Star Wars Battlefront 2 Geonosis Official Trailer
I just watched Star Wars Battlefront 2 Geonosis Official Trailer and it was epic.
When said, it is a way to express how cringe you are as quickly as possible. Only the lowest form of human will use this word.
Troglodyte: Man, today was epic!
Normal human being: …
This word was originally overused by kids, now turned into ironic words used by the intellectuals.
Guy 1: oh hey i won the lottery!
Guy 2: lmao that's fucking epic
Epic is used when someone is describing another human or potentially a game, they probably watch Albertstuff/ Falmingo and are 8 yrogirls who make Albert edits and post them on tiktok (probably)
“Wow now that’s EPIC!”
“Dude your dog is so epic.”
“Your hairstyle is epic!!”
