And why is that, you think? 
 @36591423 because that’s amazing 
 @53de482a 
And why is it amazing, to call things amazing when they aren't?

Normally if something's green, you don't try to describe them as red. 
 @36591423 It was a joke about a very common phrase.

Google the word “superlative.”

Well, don't know about you, but I guess there people who actually say Amazing! to things that they don't think to be amazing.

Would be interesting to find out, why they do it. Just for fun. What's the urge?
