YANBU I fucking hate it

MonkeyPuddle · 16/10/2020 13:39

Evokes the same emotion in me as ‘artisan’ bread.

Goingdooolally · 16/10/2020 13:39

So pretentious.

Curated is for museum exhibitions only

RHTawneyonabus · 16/10/2020 13:42

I chose some stuff.

Was this articulated by a "we are Creatives" type?

randomsabreuse · 16/10/2020 13:46

Seems to be a term of art in online teaching where the teacher provides a list of links to stuff you should be reading...

The “curated ear”- shoot me now

YA most definitely NBU!

It’s on the list with “artisan” and “ reaching out”.

Fifthtimelucky · 16/10/2020 13:48

I agree. Hate it (except for museums and art galleries etc).

We were in hotel recently where the Breakfast Buffet was described as Curated

LittlePearl · 16/10/2020 13:51

Just dreadful.

CoralFish · 16/10/2020 13:54

Agreed.

Curated is for art and museum collections.

At a push, a fashion collection, but to be used in the industry, not when promoting to consumers, and even this I feel like curated is bringing things from different designers, etc. so not just one designer's collection.

Wanky wanky wanky.

"a red lip"
"A wedge shoe"

What happened to the other ones? How is that faster than saying "red lips and wedge shoes"?

and "debate " as in " Trump debates Biden"

Loughrigg77 · 16/10/2020 14:17

I'm an museum curator and this annoys me no end

iklboo · 16/10/2020 14:18

'Sourced' - you went to the fucking shop / bought online. You did not lead a trek through the jungle.

tectonicplates · 16/10/2020 14:18

Totally agree it's pretentious.

See also: "hand-picked". Hmm

@AuntieJoyce

No it's not.

"the selection, organisation, and presentation of online content, merchandise, information, etc., typically using professional or expert knowledge."

This is what I do. Curation and editing of scientific data.

D4rwin · 16/10/2020 14:20

Curated; vintage; sourced. Misunderstandings of language seem rife. Instant nope from me.
