PLEASE STOP USING THAT EXPRESSION!!!!!!!!!!

Heard this once before from Courtney but assumed she was too young to understand the meaning - but tonight, oh, no, not Amy Stran too!!!!! Maybe someone should take these girls aside and explain the the following expression has nothing to do with makeup or completing an outfit ....here goes...."Wham, Bam, Thank you Mam!"...I find it offensive and wish they could cut this out....it's not funny...don't use an expression if you are not sure of it's meaning !!!!!!!!

Yep.  Noticed that a while back.  They must think it's something new!

lisa rinna used that expression before too, when she had a tsv, and people were

commenting about it being inappropriate. you'd think she'd know the meaning.

Rather than me quoting the meaning..... please TV hosts and vendors.....

Google these words and see what comes up.  Wham, Bam, Thank you Mam!".

I really don't think they know.  Kind of funny in a way.  But certainly not an expression that needs to be said without a PG rating disclaimer. LOL

I think they know but since the saying doesn't use bad words they say it for fun. I agree it doesn't make it Okay.

I find it obnoxious, only because, they don't know what they're saying, it's derogatory toward women, and, it's hypocritical that they can talk about sleeping with a woman and then dumping her (using her), but, get vapors over far more innocuous subjects. 

 

But, it offends me most of all because it's so 60s/70s and it just isn't correct in context. What does it mean when they're taking about clothes?

It's kind of amazing that they don't know what it means.
