horrible VS terrible, prize/award/reward - any real difference?

I don't really see a difference between horrible and terrible in most situations. If you have doubts about whether one is more suitable, please write the sentences you're thinking about.

Horrible and terrible are definitely different. If something is horrible it inspires horror. Horror can be something gross that doesn't scare you. Terrible comes from terror, which has to frighten you, by definition. So, I would never say a food is terrible... unless the sight of it makes my hair stand up, but a food could be horrible.
