What do you consider "proper English"?

Pinker and more manicured would work.

It's Shawnism ... much like a Suessism.  Lighten up.  People are so straight-laced and rigid.

"Pinkier" is an acceptable alternative to your preferred "pinker".

      I'm sorry but I disagree.   It has nothing to do with straight-laced and rigid.   It has to do with speaking real words instead of made up words.   I didn't hear it but 'pinkier' and 'manicurier' are not real words.   No reason to make them up when there are plenty of real words available.   And if whomever said it thought it was cute; no it isn't.  It is silly and unnecessary.

I apologize in advance if I offend you (that, in itself, is bad form, but, hey, ...) but I disagree with you! I believe we need to hold onto some form of propriety in the world that finds jeans ripped so badly it's a wonder they hold together (that cost an arm and a leg, to boot! In my day, yes, I'm ancient, no one would ever wear them for fear we'd look indigent!), walking around with bra straps showing (we'd have been given a bad rep. for that!) and all food now becoming "finger" food, as no one knows how to hold a fork properly any more! (Yes, I hear the screamsand gasps! Why should little things like that matter when there are bigger problems in the world?) My answer is this: in a world with so many serious problems we need, more than ever, to hold onto all forms of propriety. When we let little things go by the wayside they leave room for bigger ones to follow!  It's not so difficult to say "more pink" is it, especially if it saves the world some day?😉

Never underestimate the power of kindness.

Well then we disagree.  No biggie.  Call me silly.
