Ok, so Eddie Izzard is a comedian and in one of his shows he does a segment where he talks about the word "awesome". I believe he was talking about outer space and how it is awesome in the original use of the word. Then he talked about a package of hot dogs he saw once - "Awesome Hot Dogs". Therefore, the Grand Canyon is awesome like a hot dog but in the original meaning of the word and not the watered down cliche meaning it has now.
