Don't forget "happy dance"
‎10-14-2019 10:55 AM
The clothing vendors / designers are likely using the word " fabrication " to let customers know that there was a complex effort on their part in the fabrication process of each garment. The fabrication process flowchart , not only includes developing a sketch design but all the steps of fabric choice, pattern design , pattern production , sewing , inspection, finishing, and packaging. I think the clothing vendors/ designers are trying to elevate the level of their clothing rather than us feel they are just selling mass produced items made of cheap fabric. I can say some items on QVC have been make of okay fabric and some items I received were cheap material or had sewing imperfections .
I would rather heard the word fabrication than " oh it's so good " or all the Valley girl lingo talk using the word " like, Like " or hear those stupid Marge stories . Or hear the Hosts say that muk luk boots could be worn dressed up , what garbage.

I can't stand it along with " Hot pick ", " It's so good " , " Fri-Yay " , " Sunday fun day " , " Seven Davy " , ect . There was a new one that JT said during one of her recent presentations but I forgot what it was.
QVC must have their own staff section to think up all these jingle phrases.

I heard one the other day on HSN (Nina Leonard vendor), it was elastication. I think I'm fine with stretchy.

How about Shaun with "sidebar" -- talk about totally ridiculous.

Perhaps elastication is the "elevated" version of stretchy.

They've been doing this for years now. It's not anything new.
I cannot stand it.

This word seems the strangest to me. Never heard it used in the early days of the Q. As a matter of fact never heard it in my life before the Q started using it a few years ago. Just say “colors”.

Latest???? Fabrication has been the subject of posts on this board for 10 years.

I am both amused and irritated by the many supposedly trendy buzz words/terms used in all forms of the work world...such as "deep dive" and "pipeline" in offices, "best practices" and "modeling" in education, those already mentioned in fashion, as well as words like "curator" for a owner/buyer that simply sells/offers a variety of items - just to name a few. Why do people/businesses find it necessary to find a more offbeat way to express what is already commonly known by another term? It seems almost intended to be uppity and exclusionary by intent and design. You are supposed to feel like the person using the new term is more knowledgeable and it is also silently implied it is a term you need to add to your vocabulary or you will look out of touch. Fortunately, I am old enough not to have to play this word game, but I still think it dumb. JMHO
