Genius
Was talking to this bird once and somehow the conversation got on to hobbies. One of mine is collecting vinyl records which I could drone on about at length. So, I was telling her about my anarcho-punk collection and my house records from 1988-92 when I thought "better shut up before she falls asleep" so I said "I could go on but I don't want to bore you" and she replied "That's not boring, that's genius".

"Thanks for the compliment but Shakespeare, Darwin, Dickens and Newton were geniuses. My collecting second-hand vinyl doesn't quite put me in the same league as them you fuckwit." is what I should have said but then, I didn't want to blow my (non-existant as it happens) chance did I.

I suppose calling everything "genius" has gone out of use now.

I could be wrong
but I think Noel Fielding is responsible for the current popularity
