Has anyone else noticed how repetitive the word, 'chic' is used by some vendors, in particular, when describing their fashions?  Just about every sentence, and sometimes multiple times within the same sentence, the word is used.  Understandably, it is a word used in the fashion and design industry, but it seems as if no other comparable word/s are ever used. 

   To be clear, my post is not meant to be mean toward anyone in any way, shape or form.  It's merely something I've noticed and picked up on when watching some vendors describe their clothing line.   Just curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing.

Yes, and another one is "vibe."

Yes among California Chic, cool girl.

I’ve noticed that everything is predicated with the word “super”.

E.G.: It’s super chic or super cute or super sweet.

Yes, Isaac and Dennis Basso have been chic ing for years. 😝 

Haven't seen Dennis in a minute come to think of it. 🤔

Do you know your own repetitions?  Ever try to eliminate an overused word or expression from your own vocabulary or that of someone else?

@Somertime    If that's what it takes to be CHIC in our current world, I haven't seen or wanted anything chic for maybe 4 decades.

Maybe we're hearing a word for which the definition is being changed by the way people are using it?

I think “chic” is in the eye of the beholder. I’m not beholding any chic.

does not bother me at all
