My dad once used the word awful in a sort of speech and explained why he
used it in the context in which he did. He said the origin of the word
is "full of awe" so that isn't a bad thing. It made people think.
Because when he said what he referred to that was full of awe as awful,
people didn't get it. He was an amazing man.
