AWESOME
We are quite familiar with this word, used by most of the young people and even I am guilty of using it for anything and anyone specially on social media.
According to the Oxford dictionary the definition of ‘awesome’ is:
ADJECTIVE
1
Extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring awe:
‘the awesome power of the atomic bomb’
1.1
informal Extremely good; excellent:
‘the band is truly awesome!’
Earlier awesome was used for something which really inspired awe and was used very rarely. But these days it is used as a common word replacing 'very nice' or 'very good'.
In my opinion there are two reasons for this; one, it sounds quite happening (believe me, even I feel it) and secondly, it adds a flavor of encouragement and exclamation to 'very good' or 'very nice'.
Another variation which has come very recently related to ’awesome’ is
AWESOMITY - The highest state of awesome
Now that awesome is so much in use that another level of awesome is required to express awe. :D
Combination Word
AFFLUENTIAL
Affluential is a mix of Affluent and Influence and it used in case - Having both money and power or influence.
Some of the interesting abbreviations:
A3 - Anywhere, Any time, Any place

ABC - American Born Chinese
ABD - Already Been Done
ADED - All Day Every Day
AHEM - *Clearing Throat*
