This isn't the first time - English as a language likes doing this so much that we have a name for it: the contranym - or the word that is also its own antonym. We're just sarcastic assholes so often that our language does that over time.

Amazing?

If someone thinks something’s amazing, isn’t that their right to feel that way? In a subjective context I think it works. That is why I used the word “genius” as an example because that’s more exclusive and specific a word, but I think amazing has many similar meaning words that it can be interchanged with.

Anyway, nice suggestions anyway.
