“Curated”

[Goingdooolally]

Just no. STOP!!!!

YANBU I fucking hate it

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

So pretentious.

Curated is for museum exhibitions only

I chose some stuff.

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

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”.

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

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

Just dreadful.

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.

YANBU

"a red lip"
"A wedge shoe"

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

Yanbu

I never did figure out what artisan bread is.

👍

and "debate " as in " Trump debates Biden"

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

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

Totally agree it's pretentious.

See also: "hand-picked".

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.

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