Please Stop Using The Word "SICK" To Describe An Item

Not bashing a particular host, just wish she would stop using the word "SICK" to describe how great (she feels) an item is.  I say this because there are some viewers who are, in fact, dealing with health issues.  I feel there are plenty of other options in the English vocabulary this host could use.  My opinion.

Shawn uses the word sick as often as Jane T. uses the word literally.

@BarbiHollywood @San Antonio Gal .  Yes and when any of the hosts or reps describe a garment as STINKING cute, I won't buy  It  is a very very negative  adjective.

I guess Shawn wants the Q shoppers to know how hip and cool she is.

I am a couple years older than Shawn.  Perhaps she is just of her generation.  Using "sick" to describe something as positive became a thing in the 1980s.

I no longer watch any show with SK.  It just is not worth getting bothered over her "quirky" and "kooky" personality.

I don't like the term "sick" no matter who says it.  Guess I am old school since sick means the old time version of sick.

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.
