Oh, that... Well, you know, more of 'em where they come from.

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

`That`s nice,` she thinks, `but I want more.`

So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.

`Wow,` she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

`Oh, mercy me!` she exclaims, `I can hardly stand it!`

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store`s owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

It's not true. When I was reading, I stopped on the 4th!:D:D:D
 
Often I'm faced with the filler word "awesome", I mean for example USA social networks, shows,... Why people in America like this word and put it everywhere? It's just a filler or it sounds well or...?

That’s a million dollar question. Unfortunately, there’s no certain answer why this ubiquitous word attracts particular people… Definitely it’s not a filler. In fact, it’s mindless, shallow, slothful, ersatz, and, ultimately, disrespectful of anyone you are speaking to; a meme of meaninglessness masquerading as “cool communication”. Smart people say that “awesome” is something to describe everything, but when something refers to everything it describes nothing.
“Awesome” came from Californian slang of surfers sometime in ‘60s and the word lost its origin almost immediately; became the equivalent of any level of positive measure – from simple “good” to “extremely wonderful” (В своем оригинальном значении awe означает «трепет, благоговейный страх, глубокое почтение, смешанное со страхом». Например, to stand in awe of God’s judgment – трепетать пред судом божьим)
Through some movie and popular song about surfers it grabbed minds of young audience and spread throughout the country in the mid of ‘80s.

Я бы сравнил “awesome” с некоторыми словами в русской разговорной речи , используемыми к месту и не к месту, по делу и без него, на просторах интернета (сужу по собственному впечатлению). Сюда входят и слова из молодежного жаргона (отстой, кул, прикольно), и из т.н. «журналистского творчества» (элита, кастинг, культовый), и, несомненно, блатного жаргона (беспредел, наезд, стрелка, замочить). Если Вы чувствуете себя комфортно с чрезмерным употреблением подобных русских слов, можете спокойно использовать “awesome” в английской (вернее, американской) речи. А если несколько коробит, когда “people put it everywhere”, тогда не стоит этим словом злоупотреблять (особенно в беседе с носителями British English)…
В любом случае, будьте уверены, что лексикон поклонников "awesome", без сомнения, намного скуднее, чем у людей, обходяюихся без оного.
