Too many were suggested for the one poll so I'll do two and have a play-off. I will use the winning word at every available opportunity.

best poll ever

If only it were "Rather!" instead of "Rather nice!" I would vote for that due to Brideshead Revisited associations.

As it is, it's a toss up between Splendid! (had an ex who used to say that in all seriousness and it made me laugh every time) and Brilliant! I do think Brilliant! is rather over used though. At least by me.

Awesome!

No, that's not my vote. It's a joke, see...

― krakow, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link

Voted capital but marvellous, fantastic, skill & gnarly were in contension. So many good ones, "top hole" & unplayable will be welcome additions to my vocab. Still I regret the abscence of such staples as "Back of the net!" and all time classic "Henmania!"

Wizzard! Absolute wizzard!

Your "I will use the winning word at every available opportunity." addition might skew things, as the one that folks actually think is best could be a long way from the ridiculous tripe that they'd like to see you forced to say on a regular basis! Not maliciously of course, it would merely be good sport.

Needs "Rock on!"

― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 15:51 (fifteen years ago) link

Although that falls prey to the "Get in" problem as mentioned on the other poll.

Is "pukka" frowned on by anyone who isn't Jamie Oliver?

― Alex Quebec (WmC), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 15:54 (fifteen years ago) link

Variations on a theme could count together, so "Rocking!" goes with "Rock on!" perhaps?

― krakow, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 15:54 (fifteen years ago) link

xp almost anyone

"Bravo!" was robbed.

We're going to need the "Forgotten Interjections: Extreme Approval for uptight Brits (Part 3)" poll.

― krakow, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 15:57 (fifteen years ago) link

Okay, any further suggestions can go on the original thread, and I will do part three in a couple of days.

― chap, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 15:58 (fifteen years ago) link

Thanks for the sterling work chap. Ach, there's another one! I love this game.

― krakow, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 16:23 (fifteen years ago) link

You're welcome, my zarjaz man!

Voting 'Skill' due to its use in Son of Rambow.

― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 17:07 (fifteen years ago) link

would be, if it were there

Skill is on the list in Part 2: Adjectives of extreme approval for uptight Brits (part 2)

― krakow, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 17:20 (fifteen years ago) link

I went typically uptight and British, with the conservative choice of "Excellent!". Nothing too racy.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
