what words do you hate?

freakygirl — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 18:09:43 GMT

THIS ISN'T HOST BASHING, so don't name names!
what words or phrases are so overused by the hosts, that now you just hate them!
mine are:
1) obsessed
2) zhush - unsure of spelling (as in sleeves)
3) pop of color
4) I digress
5) love (in a singsong manner)
6) juicy

you?

For starters:

1) On the day

2) Buy as many as you like (did they ever restrict how many one could buy????)

(I might be back with more later!)

My biggest one is when they use the word "YOUR" when showing the colors.

Ex: This is YOUR blue, this is YOUR red......

I didn't name the colors and It's not MINE until I buy it. They should say "This is our (or the) blue, this is our red...."

"This is comfortable for the girls" - referring to our chest area
" Look at John's Mom model Jackie". What does this mean? Always with the John's mom?
"If I were you I'd pick up more than one of these". Oh yeah

Not all of the hosts use "your" instead of "The" or "Our", but it really bothers me when they do. I don't know why it bothers me so much. I guess we all have little things that get under our skin. LOL.

If you're investing so much time watching QVC then of course one would tire of the repetitiveness.

A host saying .... "I only have 200 left." (it isn't YOURS, it's QVC that has it!)

"span" as in 5% (any number) span - it's SPANDEX! Saying span is not making you look cool, just lazy.

If you bought this at retail you would have to add:

A one in front of the amount

Another digit at the end of the amount

Or some variation of the above

1) you can pop the collar
2) we're building wardrobes
3) the (sleeping beauty) mine is closed

'Building wardrobes' -- I already have a wardrobe, thank you very much.

'Permission to play' -- like I need permission from you?
