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"
Aren't holidays brilliant? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgMgkl-gRxk
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.
Scottish culture is pure dead brilliant!
Tracy Ullman doing Nicola Sturgeon and Mhari Black .... pure dead brilliant!!!

We like our sarcasm and disappointment.
"Fucking brilliant" = I'm so sick of this shit, fuck my life
"absolutely fantastic" also works
