As a non American, I sometimes just enjoy deliberately messing a bit with Americans when they utter these expressions, by doing it over the top.
Someone meeting me for some boring work related thingie: "Hi! How are you doing?"
Me: "Super awesome, thanks so much for asking! Super excited to meet you and discuss this!".
They probably think I'm crazy and/or are not sure what to make of it, so it's fun to see the puzzled looks, but I'm also just being nice.

- rjeli 7y agoAs an American, I wouldn’t blink twice at your response...
- dvirsky 7y agoI've seen raised eyebrows and responses like "Awesome... wow, o...kay... that's great to hear" Which I took for "What the hell is wrong with you, crazy foreigner who doesn't know how to read social cues"
- plorkyeran 7y agoI've met plenty of people who respond like that without it being a joke, so if you're going for over-the-top you're undershooting the mark quite a bit.
- dvirsky 7y agoI'll try to raise the crazy a bit. Relocating to SV soon so I'll have plenty of opportunities. Umm, I mean, I'm super excited and stoked to finally be where all the magic happens!
