• A term made popular by the professional [heavyweight] boxing champion David [Tua] when he appeared on the New [Zealand] version of the popular gameshow Wheel of Fortune sometime in the mid 1990s asking to play the letter [O] - for Awesome (or Orsome, as it must have appeared to David at the time). Whether he asked for an A or an incorrect O he was still incorrect because he was supposed to ask for a consonant, not a vowel. This moment became a classic moment in New Zealand television history, still being talked about years after this moment occured. Many would blame David [Tuas] mistake on the fact that he has been punched in the head too many times throughout his career, others would blame it on the fact that he is a fresh [islander].

    The term O for Awesome! has become a positive expression of excitement meaning fantastic! or cool! used by people of many backgrounds throughout the world, with most people unaware of the origins of this term of expression.
