I'm tired of the same old 'well done' and 'good work'

Occasionally, I'll throw in the odd 'brilliant!' Managed a 'nifty' once last week.

You lot got any others?

excellent stupendous fantastic fabulous

Stellar. Or, "Stella!"

Braw
Barry
That's a belter!

Now I've cheered myself up, being so positive :)

Jolly good show

Groovy.
Sorted.

Pukka.

Gosh, wow, awesome, amazing, (totes amazeballs if you must!), cor, splendid, neat...

Is this the discussion on my new book?

Quick there, Anna. You made I laugh :D

Exquisite, delectable, splendiferous, captivating…

One the kids all know is awesome.

Actually, the word superlative itself says what you mean and it's a good vocabulary stretcher.

Yeah, awesome innit?

See - I told you the kids all... Oh, morning BJ! ;)

Fab, lush, proper lush, awesome :)

Righteous

Wicked

I have one friend who says 'gurt lush', but I have no idea why...

Pattiliscious.

I read that as pastilicious, Richard. Now I want a pasty!

I would never dream of calling Patti pasty!

wondabulous!

Don't they say 'mint' these days too?

and 'sick'

Managed both a stellar and a stupendous today.

The ten year olds are loving it!

Thanks and keep em coming, please!

How about going old school with Spiffing and Top-hole.

After reading The Scarlet Pimpernel at quite a young age I annoyed family (and others, no doubt) by using "Sink me!" to express surprise for a surprisingly long period thereafter.

I really was a precocious twit :D

Afternoon, Kath. I've never perceived any advantage in growing up - and it's too late to start now!

More from the space age:

ballistic!
hypersonic!
orbital!

subtler:

quite better than adequate!
exceeding competence!

over-the-top:

perfection!
heavenly!

You lot might actually make marking rather enjoyable for a change.

Exceeds expectations...

The epitome of perspicaciousness.

Yes, it does sound as if a lot of effort has gone into it.

What about the simple 'lovely job' or 'lovely work'?

Lovely jubbly.

They heard those all the time, Katy. Nice to mix things up, sometimes. :)

The head I worked for until I retired used to say, 'stunning!' to the children. They loved that. Maybe it was the idea of being able to stun the headteacher but I doubt many of them (primary age) worked out the root of the word.

A lot of the card making blogs that I look at are full of comments saying that this card or another is "stunning" It seems to me to be overworked at the moment and I find myself wishing that just one person would find a different word to use.

'tidy'? Though that could confuse them

Fan Dabi Dozi *hangs head in shame*

Frabjous

Brill

Shiny!

Dazzling

Used spiffy and exquisite today. :)

Nice one.

The five year olds are doing an assembly on Friday and I was trying to help a few of them learn their lines. Poor sweetie pies. Some of the words they were expected to say! I had to make some changes, but they were doing not too bad by the end of the day.

I'm sure the assembly will be adorable.

Mint and canny are two I hear alot in the North East.
And what about 'cracking'?
