Awesome is a recurring phrase used by the gang to describe the awesomeness (or not) of certain situations/events. Barney uses the phrase more than anyone (to the point where it's become his catchphrase and is an iconic part of his character), but all five of them have used the phrase, such as Marshall in Sweet Taste of Liberty.
