Vendor is the more common word of course but I can't imagine anyone who doesn't know vendor is the word used to describe what is strangely all of a sudden an "OAP"!

 

@Pixie12.

Are you by any chance or were in the entertainment field? Now I'm curious where you got this phrase?

"If you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew. Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? can you paint with all the colors of the wind?"

Excuse me for not being clear. OAP is an on air presenter, the company representative that comes on to promote their product. I should not post so late at night.

@Pixie12 Most of us just go by the product vendor.  If you had said vendor everyone would understand.

@on the bay. I must have seen OAP somewhere on this forum. No entertainment background for me. I realize this is a trivial matter.

I didn't know what OAP was either.

So many of the complaints on these forums are ridiculous. It's time to grow up and be a little tolerant. It's called life.

 

 


This is a forum where we discuss things.  Nothing wrong with @Pixie12 's  topic.

What about hosts?  It bugs me when they walk out of the camera shot when they were the focus.  Totally disorganized,  don't you people have producers in charge?  Or are these women just told, go ahead and have a ball?  Merchandise seems to be secondary.

Or....it could be he knows how to use "Google".?

 

When I did, I put in.."What is OAP on TV?

 

First result?

 

"The acronym OAP stands for On Air personality...."

@Othereeeen,

yes I did the same with differing results.

When I finally decided OAP was on air presenter, i thought she meant host which still didn't  make sense.  Now the next day I return to the thread to find out it's a VENDOR!!!  And now the "Mensa" comment insulted my intelligence.   Lol.  I should have just skipped the topic.
