Can't make this ""stuff"" up.
Gives a comical and honest look at the meaning of stuff. QVC recognized it from its inception and has made fortune on it.

I don't see hosts and vendors as great people that one must not offend. They are just like the people at the carnival selling knives and the rest of us. All just people.

I just think they have a limited vocabulary, and that it sounds crass. Proper grammar is just not taught in schools because the teachers were not taught it. I am trying to break DD of calling everything a "thing," instead of using the correct word.

Actually, speaking of "stuff," I was just reminded of an episode of Little People, Big world, in which amy made a hysterical speech to Matt about her "stuff," i.e., "it's my stuff, I like my stuff, I know where my stuff is, and on and on, lol," in reponse to his nagging her to do something with her "stuff."
