Wish people would not use their own hands or self to model things on the Q or E-bay.

It just looks scooter.

It just looks scooter

I'll be the first to ask, is this an English phrase and what does it mean?

@Kachina624    That threw me off too... never heard of scooter.

@Mombo1    Probably a failed attempt to sound faux cool.

Google to the rescue:

What does scooter mean in slang?

Insane

slang Insane; mentally unstable or unhinged. Being stuck inside all day everyday—why, it's enough to make a person go scooters! I've always thought people who had so much money and free time on their hands all tended to be a bit scooters.

My friend used that phrase to me trashy: old sofa on the front porch,etc.

@Group 5 minus 1    According to the Google definition @mspatmac  quoted, it applies to the mental state of people, not the condition of old furniture.

I do like to see jewelry modeled so I have a idea of scale, even if it's not a professional model. I am not surprised that vendors on eBay self model items, as they usually are keeping expenses lean.

What's so bad about "self-modeling" an item on ebay"?  What's so white trash?  It's ebay, for heaven's sake, not Tiffany's.  Selling on ebay IS sort of "white trash".   Just kidding, I've sold on ebay myself, it's just a joke.

And where in the world does an ebay seller come up with a professional model?

Anyway, I thought we were in an era when all people were considered "beautiful" and we should all be "inclusive", not just pander to a pretty face.
