You know...that's probably a factor in -all- word usage. Terrific is one of my favorites. Invented to describe exactly what it looks like...used for the opposite. It's called amelioration, btw (iirc). The etymology of that one coming out to roughly ..."more, better, stronger"...... as in, "so terrific, it's fucking awesome"...hence the modern usage of terrific.
 Totally not a derail, because amelioration of "derail".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

YEAH lol!
Words develop mostly through the usage of the majority and the majority are mostly dumb fucks who can't use the language properly.
And that's why language makes no sense.

By the way, Whatev, I've always been meaning to say this:
It's really cool how you have an Alan Watts quote in your sig. Not one of my favorite of his quotes, but nevertheless, the Wisdom of Insecurity is his best.
