I know there may be some separation anxiety when I first propose this idea. However, just to stir things up a bit, I'm proposing that we eliminate the word "stunning" from the Irish dancer/Irish dancing Mum's vocabulary. If you haven't noticed it yet, you will now. Every dress seller describes their "stunning" dress for sale, and every compliment discusses the "stunning" appearance of a dancer.
So, here goes:
Main Entry: | stunning |
Part of Speech: | adjective |
Definition: | beautiful, marvelous |
Synonyms: | beauteous, bonny, brilliant, comely, dazzling,devastating,
excellent, fair, famous, fine, first-class*, first-rate,
gorgeous, great, handsome,heavenly, impressive,
lovely, number one, out ofthis world, pretty, ravishing,
remarkable, royal,sensational, smashing,
spectacular, striking,superior, top, wonderful
|
Antonyms: | homely, ugly

| Next time you feel the urge to use the word "stunning" try one of these quality synonyms proposed by thesaurus.com. To ease the transition, I have provided some brilliant examples below.
- "FOR SALE: SMASHING open champion level Men's vest."
- "You look devastating in that $3000 Siopa!"
- "This dress is remarkably ravishing! How much are you asking?"
- "Wow, you look the opposite of homely in your new wig!"
- "Your dress looks out of this world with the added diamantes."
- "Comely neon yellow off the rack--33" bust"
- "Doesn't Gavin look bonny in his bright pink suit?"
