I have seen many people use the word ‘genius’ to applaud someone who has done something good. However, is the usage appropriate when someone nicely copies something or masters the traditional procedure and gives out a good performance? I think as per the actual connotation, the word ‘genius’ may be used to mean who has exceptional intellectual ability and originality. What are your opinions?

I usually use the word to describe someone as genius when they are original in their thought as far as my knowledge is concerned. Often times I will refer to friends as genius' as we are brainstorming ideas and they come up with what seems to be the perfect solution and or idea. Many times their ideas come from a collection of experiences they have had. They use that collection of experiences gained to come up with an original idea.
