The first host to say "bucks" was Sean. I commented at how it took the network and her down a few notches.Obviously she didn't listen. I am glad someone else agrees.

People get irritated over what irritates them; what's the big deal? Your pet peeve is the speech police; that's what irritates you. So why are you complaining?

That really doesn't bother me at all.Covid has upended my life. That's the least of my concerns.

Hearing 'bucks' brings to mind carnival barkers and sales men in tourist towns, or gamblers at a poker table with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. I agree it is suggesting something is cheap.

You can also add the word "Dude" to that request. A couple of hosts don't want to be specific always refers the audience or colleagues as Dude in order to make the sale. Far from professional and it should be addressed.
