Q Talk

Please stop!  I'm not watching the Q that often lately, but it seems every time I do tune in, no matter who the host is, they use the word quintessential over and over! It's becoming the latest overused word that stops meaning anything.

@lizzief  I agree. What does that even mean? It means nothing to me.

"Representing the most perfect or typical example of a quality or class."  There, now you know what it means.

It is a good word when used properly. It almost like they just learned a new word and try to use it as much as they can.  Another example is iconic.

@rms1954  Thank you, you’re just the sweetest.

I stopped watching when the expression, as well, was used constantly by hosts and vendors and after awhile that is all I heard. I know it isn't easy to find different words and expressions to use but the hosts hang on for dear life to many just like the repetitive tiresome selling points.

Thanks!  I try.

I can't recall hearing hosts use the word. 

They very well may have, and it just didn't stand out.  I confess, when I watch, I'm focused on the product, much more, than the sales spiel.

Quintessential is the new iconic

Q just loves to pick a word or phrase and use it up

I am just wowed at the spelling!  Nice job, I stumble on that one.
