Kate Gosselin puts the final nail in the coffin of the word 'amazing'?

Kate Gosselin kept it linguistically simple on the Emmy Awards red carpet Sunday in Los Angeles, jumping on the ubiquitous "amazing" bandwagon to describe her first time at the show.

"It's amazing."

Also, "It's really an honor to be here."

And, surprisingly, "It's just fun to play dress-up."

So, can we all get over the word "amazing" now? Please offer your alternative word choices in comments.

I prefer the word epic.

Look...

The front of her dress made her look like she was wearing a bib that she used to make her 5 year olds wear.

Her skin looked leathery like dried up beef jerky.

Her hair looked like a rat'z nest.

Then she opened her mouth and said,"This is my 1st Emmy Show"

Honey, let me let you in on a secret all of America thinks, "Hopefully it's your last" That LA times would be amazing.

She said it once. An average episode of "The Bachelor" probably has dozens of "amazing" utterances in just an hour. The phrase I'm really getting sick of at the moment is "high-end."

She learned " amazing" and " honor" from her stay with Sarah Palin.

The word "amazing" is at least as overused as the words "incredible", "sexy" and "free". All are routinely misused to describe people or things that are probably not amazing, incredible, sexy or free.

Gosselin certainly knows how to manipulate and "work a room". It's not too difficult to figure out how she showed up on the Red Carpet. She's a schmoozer and a bs-er of the first degree. And now, as I read someplace else, she's determined to be an "actress". She has grown weary of "reality" TV; now she wants to do something scripted. We may not like her, but the woman has balls.

She is an idiot - her vocabulary consists mostly of shrieks and grunts. So a couple of words in English is pretty good. I used to be appalled by her arrogance and wonder at the abuse she heaps on her children. I now realize that she just does not know any better - the way she troops around town in hooker garb is mostly just plain ignorance. Poor little children have nobody to look out for them. Pity them.

Didn't see any of you up there. Oh, I guess you didn't get your personnal invite from Jimmy Fallon as Kate did. He wouldn't have asked Kate if he didn't think Kate would be a hit and be a drawn.

Snark on you want, but Kate's the one on the way to the bank with probably a pretty sweet check.

She looked amazing!
