New Buzz Words

Kachina624 — Sat, 08 May 2021 22:49:05 GMT

For years, Pat has often said, "that's the beauty of it" over and over, about as often as Mary Beth repetitiously says, "here's the thing".

Yesterday I heard Lori Goldstein and today Susan Grave say, "that's the beauty of it". I hope the hosts aren't going to start using this expression ad nauseum as they tend to do. I guess it's better than Lori being constantly obsessed or Jane Treacy loving Fri-yay.

What used to set my teeth on edge was Lisa Mason and "gals".

I wouldn't be mad if I never heard any of them say they were "obsessed with...." again. Not only is it just repeated too much, it's overused in the sense that nothing they refer to seems that special, since, for instance Lori...is "obSESSSed" wth everything.

Same with "elevates..."...although, every time I hear them use that, I do wonder what we'd replace it with..."brings it up a notch?" "gives this a more sophisticated look", gives this "casual tee a more polished look", whatever..."elevate" has been used to death.

"Here's the thing." Yeah, I see that. You're trying to sell me that thing right there. And? What's next? "Coming up next, here's another thing."

I don't care for it when someone says "Here's the thing," in a conversation. It's like they're dismissing everything I just said and they're letting me know how it really is. Just kind of offputting.

At least the newer buzz words are better than 'fu fu, chi chi'; 'love, love, love' or 'ladies who lunch.'

I give the hosts lots of credit though. It's not always easy to talk about the same item for long stretches of time.The most difficult, it seems to me, is when an entire show only promotes a single item.

@Kachina624 Her name is Lori Goldstein.

Maybe instead of complaining about all the hosts, we could come up with some new expressions and help them out.

Pat always said "without a doubt" a lot. I guess she's switched it up.

And yeah enough with the Friyay and Jackie Jane. Jane T was adding something else to the Jackie Jane the other night - I couldn't even follow what she was talking about.

My "come up" is turn the sound off, I do this and it works.

Something that makes me chuckle a bit---oh those poor hosts they have to talk for all those hours --- Well before we bring out the violins----when I think about it--- well they chose the job, (and there's always tons of people that apply for it whenever QVC has an opening) and from what I read they are nicely rewarded for their efforts. Think about others that have a job that also requires talking, and some do it for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and some of these jobs just pay minimum wage:

Jobs like--Customer Service Reps, Car and Furniture Store Sales People, Teachers/Professors, Conference Speakers, Insurance Salespeople, Pharmaceutical Sales Reps, Trial Lawyers.....and even Telemarketers... (ducking and weaving on that last one...😄)

And perhaps the solution for eliminating repetitious phrases, is for the hosts to spend more time doing their homewok on the products and gathering insights by talking to the vendors behind the scenes....doesnt that responsibility come with the job. 🤔

Have a good day everyone!

One of the several reasons I no longer watch QVC live. I look online and can see whatever was shown and watch a video if there is one...on mute, if necessary! The worst? " go head and order"
