Fantastic in the DWP

A prize will be given to the person who counts the highest number of uses of ” fantastic ” by DWP managers to the Media. It appears to be the in-word in the in-crowd !

Will it be a fantastic prize!

Unfortunately not as ” fantastic ” as the DWP Kickstart scheme.

I guess the DWP managers are using “fantastic” in its original meaning: “Existing only in imagination; unreal” (OED)

” What is Fantastic Theory?

The fantastic is defined as a moment of hesitation between belief and disbelief of the supernatural. It is a very fragile literary form, as it can all to easily swing from one side to the other.” 1 Aug 2016
