You know, the cheapy online clothes shop.

I always went between Sheen and Shine

But recently someone I know called it Shane 😱.

How do you say it?

She-en

MumsShark · 30/05/2023 22:33

Sheen

thinkfast · 30/05/2023 22:33

I pronounce it Shine, but I have often heard it pronounced "she in"

Rafting2022 · 30/05/2023 22:33

Isn’t it she-in?

honeyy123 · 30/05/2023 22:33

I'm with the people who call it Sheen lol

Caramelisedbiscuitbutter · 30/05/2023 22:34

I pronounce it “shite”.

PuffinsRocks · 30/05/2023 22:34

I pronounce it, "Low-quality badly-fitting fast fashion tat from sweatshops."

MovingandStressed · 30/05/2023 22:34

She-in (isn’t it short for “she inside?”)

Wyndam · 30/05/2023 22:34

waves

I am a person who calls it "she in". Never even occurred to me to call it shine/sheen.

Shite’s about right @Caramelisedbiscuitbutter but DD and her tween mates love it. I say sheen and am always corrected by her, she says shine. Who knows? Hoping the novelty wears off soon!

It's neither it's
SHE-IN

I agree. I usually go on there to look for the most horrible clothes I can as jokes. Have you SEEN the ripped jeans and swimsuits 😳?

Its She-In. Awful company.

EarlofShrewsbury · 30/05/2023 22:51

As a previous poster said, it's She In, short for She Inside.
