terrific doesn't just mean a good thing. A terrific head injury can mean a really bad one.

same meaning?
horrible is more like "oh, that's [awful+]" while horrific is more like "oh, that scared me+" isn't it?

This thread is formed on a false premise, "terrific" can mean either "good" (That Mexican prostitute was terrific) or horrific (The Mexican prostitute let out a terrific wail as I slipped him my monstrous cock up his brown eye)

terrific kind of means impressive, or awe-inspiring i suppose. but in reality it is used as a positive word mostly. in a negetive context it is taken more as a measure of how bad rather than actually communicating the badness
