Yes, we all know how to look up words..the question has nothing to do with being lazy. The OP asked us what we think it means....when used in the QVC context.

Bingo. I know they use it often on the q, but wasn't sure it was a real word or a q made up word.

real word................a word that evokes certain emotional triggers.........like the word mom does..........................................raven

Honestly, you don't know how to look up the meanings of words online?

Tinkrbl44...was that necessary? My goodness, the person asked for an answer, not to be insulted. There is an old saying that goes, if you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.

I think Tinkrbl44 has a valid point. People have become so intellectually lazy that they ask others for the most basic of information instead of taking a few seconds to look it up.

In this case, it is a word that, while not commonly used, should be something one learned in middle school. While I have been out of school 20+ years, once I got out of elementary school, my teachers always referred me to the dictionary if I had a question about the meaning of a word.

in 2015, a time when the breadth of human knowledge is at our fingertips, sometimes people need reminding that Google is our friend.

Thanks Toby ..... what I object to is when people start threads with very simple questions and expect others to spoon feed them the same information they could get for themselves in a mere 15 seconds.

It's pure laziness !!!

You know Tinkrbl, in the movie Peter Pan Tinkerbell didn't speak. Maybe you should consider it because you never have anything nice to say and it's not just this thread I'm referring to.
