Re: STOP SAYING THESE WORDS:

It's downright comical to call anything on QVC "Posh," "elevated," etc. who do they think they're fooling? 

 

But long before they started resorting to this kind of desperate foolishness, going back to decades ago, the hosts all had a strange way of describing each item of clothing or jewelry. Instead of saying it was a certain color or size they would say it was "going to be" that color or size. So odd.

At least they are not using the old "for the price of a cup of coffee a day you can have this fabulous product in your home, on your person, etc."

My least favorite word used to describe clothing and fabrics is "yummy". I have never in my life used "yummy" to describe clothing. I don't watch much anymore so I  don't know if they use it as much as they did in the past.

 

They also were saying "Put a one or two in front of this price. That's what's you'd pay in a store with a door." Got tired of that too. 

Probably harder than we think to keep talking about one item for 15 minutes or longer. I just wish they'd give more details instead of stories and random conversations. JMO
