Really funny thread!  I enjoyed reading all the comments because yes, I can relate.  Much of this behavior though is what has led to my decrease in viewing, along with the shipping & handling return charges.

1. "...on the day."

2. referring to clothing, shoes, jewelry, etc. as "she" (WHAT?)

3. "szuhzing" up (sleeves)

4."You're killing me..."

5. "There is no reorder..."


Especially #3.....is szuhzing (sp?) in the dictionary?  Maybe I should look, I think it sounds ridiculous.

Oh! that going thru the colors sure gets old.  Not only in the clothes, but I swear, David does it every 10 sec on the kitchen shows.

The one that I've heard multiple times lately, when referring to a style of clothing, "It's fierce." "This looks fierce."

 

What???  Lions, tigers, and other animals that have powerful jaws and that can run much faster than me are fierce, not people sporting clothes.Cat Wink

"This covers all your bits & pieces"

 

"I'm OBSESSED with this!"

 

"You know I work out with this every day.  I use this equipment in my sleep.  It's called active breathing!"

I thought of a few more:

 

She's a beauty-- referring to a top or handbag as if it's a person.

l'll climb into this jacket-- as if a ladder will be needed.

 

ETA: All the hosts say "l own this," regardless of what the item is. They fail to say that's b/c the vendor gives them free samples to try out, and keep! Maybe not a $6,000 bracelet, but l think this applies to most moderately-priced items presented for sale.

I find comparing fabric to a food substance to be the most annoying, as in "Oh this material feels like butter"  Really?  My butter is in the refrigerator, hard and cold.  And greasy.  So I'm not sure why this would be a positive.

 

And the other?  "This is so on trend".  Used in every other sentence by one of the vendors.  Over and over again.

@Patriot3: I looked up the spelling of this word (used to describe pushing sleeves up). It was puzzling me as well! Spell 'just' backwards, but add a z in there: tszuj

 

Now use it in a sentence. Smiley Very Happy Is yours "I hate hearing tszuj overused!!!"?
