Stop Saying "Iconic" All the Gosh-Darned Time, Watch Guys!

It's driving me up the friggin wall: watch guys saying "iconic" over and over and over and over. 

You use a word too often, it becomes meaningless. When it comes to "iconic" watches, we reached that point about 5 billion uses ago. It's time to wake up and smell the thesaurus.

Lots of people are overusing the word "iconic," but watch guys are among the worst offenders. Here are some synonyms for "iconic" : epochal. Exemplary. Quintessential. Classical. Seminal. Emblematic. Historic. Representative. Established. Esteemed. Admired. Dominant. Eminent. Acclaimed. Top-notch. Preeminent. Noteworthy. Reputable. Extolled. Big-league. Imposing. Highly regarded. Heavyweight. Premier. Glorious. Lionized. Remarkable.

You don't have to keep saying "iconic" every third sentence. You're welcome. And when you start over-using these, just do what I did: a Google search for synonyms.
