To wonder WTF 'artisan' is supposed to mean and think it's the epitome of ponciness?!

[WhizzerAndChips]

I keep seeing and hearing the word 'artisan' being bandied about lately.
Someone on FB is making 'artisan' biscuits. A shop in town sells artisan bread rolls.
the more I type it the less it looks like a real word
AIBU to think it's just the new trendy, arty farty word for pretty things?!

Samantha Brick calls her husband an artisan.
He's a builder or carpenter or something.
Yes, it has become very poncey.

Martin Platt from Corrie is now an artisan cheese maker. He had a stall at the Manchester Christmas Markets. DH was a bit starstruck.

My DP is an artisan web developer

OH somebody tried to get me to like their artisan gift bags on facebook the other week

How much extra can you charge for being 'artisan?' Seriously?

There's a bakery in a large village near us, area is very expensive housing and migrating urbanites who are wannabe county set. Until about 3 years ago it was a hum drum bakery selling bog standard loaves and those cream cakes on doilies. Then they put up blackboards and called everything artisan, it's still the same stuff but they've lost the doilies and put everything up by three quid and have a queue of those idiots out of the door.

Especially celebrity artisan.

Artisan = stylishly misshaped
