Shawn, please stop saying “Sidebar!”

It started out as cute, but when you say it so often, it’s not unique anymore, if that’s what you’re going for, and sounds rather forced. Kind of how (shudder) “literally” has made the rounds, please stop!

It’s like she’s announcing that she’s going to say something unrelated to the topic at hand.

Re: Shawn, please stop saying “Sidebar!”

I find the ‘sidebar’ very annoying. I agree with it being nothing more than an announcement of topic change. Well anyway, let’s not not talk about the product let’s talk about me.

Back when The Soup was on tv she was favorite fodder. They had a 30+ second clip of her repeating the word ‘literally’ from various segments that was so funny I still think of it every time she says it.

Agree, eliminate "stinkin" along with it.

I suspect that she doesn't quite know what the word means in the context of how she uses it, but wanted to say it after watching too much Law and Order.

@Johnnyeager.  Maybe soon she'll change it up to 'Forthwith' like Blue Bloods!

I guess sidebar took the place of her continually saying 

 

I just want to call out. I think she picked that up from Aimee K. handbag vendor. 

 

I am not sure if she still says it, but she use to repeat it on anything presented.

I'm tired of her saying, "Roll it" when she's presenting a TSV.

It sounds to me like a lot of people are watching too much QVC.  If something someone says bothers me that much, I find something else to do or watch. It would be better for the blood pressure! Smiley Happy

We all have the right to be bothered by whatever we like, such as you being bothered by us being bothered by the use of that word.  That's how it works.
