"Girl..."

PhillyGirl23 — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 04:48:58 GMT

Courtney seriously needs to STOP referring to every female guest this way. She is definitely showing her youth. People do not go around referring to others as "girl". It sounds like slang and is very unprofessional.

I can tolerate that more than "...and it's never coming back !".

All of it wears me out - it's just way too much and I'm surprised it is continued to be allowed.

I find Courtney unbearable especially with high pitch voice and all the lip smacking.

I like Courtney and think she does a great job. Shawn also says "Girl" quite often - and she's 50.

I do agree with this, but it's not just Courtney. Many hosts do this. I see it on tv shows, commercials, and even my young daughter has said this to friends.

It is annoying, but I try not to pay it too much attention. It seems to be "the thing" to say with some people.

I think people hook on to a catch word or phrase and it just comes out of their mouth without them even thinking about it really. Have you ever heard someone speak and they always say at the end --- "ya know?"

another word that is getting too much use is "beloved".

Courtney has shown very little improvement - especially because she has to play sidekick to JT. It's really bringing her game down. She needs a refresh on all levels.

That doesn't bother me. From where I am in the South, my friends and acquaintances frequently use that term...and I am in my 70s. I'm not sure what term I would use if I ever could get out of that habit. I do try to not use it when I am talking with groups of women that aren't from here or that aren't my close friends. Saying "y'all" every two words bothers me although I'm guessing I probably use that, too, just not to the extent that some on air do. I don't believe I ever use it just as a statement followed by nothing.

Several hosts on HSN use that term ... "gurrrrrrrrrrrlllll, you look great in that outfitl"

I can't stand when one woman addresses another as "honey." She does this a lot.

It’s commonly used in my area & it doesn’t bother me. I like Courtney & think she’s lovely.

I hear this term a lot by women of all ages. It doesn't bother me.

Her hair extensions and new face are more distracting than anything that comes out of her mouth.

In my area, the word girl is reserved for females 12 years and under. Beyond that they are teenagers, then women.

Courtney is a cool girl. She's expected to talk like that.

@PhilaLady1 lol. Maybe she's mellowing as I recently agreed with her on something too.

@ValuSkr Maybe Court is supposed to counter Jane who is an uncool wannabe.
