Stop hosts saying ‘STINKIN’ CUTE’ PLEASE!

This comment makes me so aggravated.  It doesn't make any sense!  Ive never heard anyone use this expression before, only on QVC.  I have others that make me cringe as well, but this particular one is the worst.

I agree with the OP,  it's crude and juvenile.

 The Hosts are always going to use some form of colloquialisms to draw viewers in .

It  is the  cozy  family/friend sales technique.

@CABRIT   I agree, it's a stupid thing to say.  Cute has no odor one way or another.

Funny....I hear it used on other shopping channels. Sounds juvenile there too!

The other day I read that just the word "cute" is overused.  Anything we like is described as "cute."  Surely there are other adjectives?

I agree - that phrase bugs me, too, but I hear it a lot, not just on the Q. And no, it doesn't mean that you should stop watching a program as some have suggested. It's an overused phrase that sounds juvenile.

I'd rather hear stinkin' cute than cool.  I don't need a host or vendor to tell me what's cool.  Do I expect them to stop saying it?  No.
