We milkers were warned that a new heifer was in the holding pen (we need to know since her milk has to be dumped). I saw her enter and told Lisa that the heifer was coming through. Lisa's response was "awesome." "OK", I thought, "'awesome' seemed a little over enthusiastic for the situation". Then I remembered when I was in a meeting w/ some Brits years ago. I put forward an idea and one of them responded w/ "brilliant". It was a good idea but even I didn't consider it 'brilliant'. Finally figured out that 'brilliant' was just the term in vogue for 'I agree w/ you' in Britain at that moment. Maybe 'awesome' is the current equivalent of my day's 'cool'?
