Re: What’s with the adjectives?

None of those buzz words mentioned offend me.

The two phrases that bother me are:

The clothing item fits everyone!!!

The item is selling fast and you need to place your order.

If it sells out and fits everyone I find those statements deceiving. Please stop. I rarely watch and look online to avoid the nonsense.

I agree with the OP one hundred percent.

In the case of the word "stinking," why is that ever allowed? Are the hosts ever advised about such matters? This stuff gets old fast--and it has zero appeal.

Rather than having this bother you ,how about thinking about things that are important.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

When I hear a beauty/body product descibed as juicy on QVC, I can not help but think of the Seinfeld episode where Newman envisions Kramer as a delicious golden brown turkey. That's just where my mind goes.

IMHO the problem with adjectives stems from the fact that they spend too much time on each product. Even if you're describiing the Thanksgiving Day parade, you run out of adjectives after a while. Try doing this with a pair of shoes or a pair of scissors. . Try it with a box of candy. After 15 minutes you've more than said it all, and you have to drift into absurdity, such as AMAZING, PERFECT, AWESOME and so on..

I think it's time to cut back on the time involved in presenting each product. You can say almost everything that needs to be said in about three minutes. Then it slips into nonsense.

Just to be clear, they don’t offend me either. They’re just annoying if you are looking for actual facts on a product.

It's also a full moon on the third. Affects people. I sometimes avoid the forums during a full moon myself.

Maybe that’s it. These phrases are nothing new, so perhaps the full moon just made them seem more annoying. It was a beautiful moon though.

I just love it when people tell me how to feel and think, makes life so much easier.

I just posted on the fashion board that I watched an entire presentation of Catherine Zeta-Jones presenting some sheets, just because she was so lovely. Such a change from what the programming seemed to me to be becoming, or which I'd just gotten really tired of.

I hardly ever watch QVC fpr relaxation (or anything else, actually) anymore, but Catherine was just so classy and professional and it was a pleasure.
