Is it just me or is the expression "mind blown" overused and also used for stuff that is far from mind blowing?

It has increasingly been used on Facebook clickbait sites, and it's recently appeared on a sofa advert. I don't find a comment attributed to Shakespeare makes me comment "mind blown".

Or am I just a grumpy old man?

It's just another way of saying it's amazing to the person. People used to say "to die for" about stuff like ice cream. What kind of ice cream is so good that you'd be prepared to actually die for it?

Awesome is another one. “That’s awesome” really? Does it actually inspire feelings of awe, or is it just pretty cool?

Probably no more irritating than it was to my parents what ‘bad’ started to mean ‘good’ in the 80’s!

I don't think i'll ever get on board with sick meaning good... cant think of a time when vomit was good. In fact its always been a bit of a prick.
