The British have a similarly strange relationship with the word "Brilliant".

There's a famous table with what Brits say vs mean:

e.g. "very interesting" -> "clearly nonsense"

Similar to Amazon reviews, British people like to either give a 1 or a 5.

Not similar to Amazon reviews Brits default to 1. So when it's a 5 it's particularly meaningful.

We like our sarcasm and disappointment.

"Fucking brilliant" = I'm so sick of this shit, fuck my life

"absolutely fantastic" also works
