“Curated”

[Goingdooolally]

Just no. STOP!!!!

YY to all the above, along with fucking ‘protein bowl’.

Which, as far as I can tell, means putting your chicken salad in a bowl instead of a plate and slinging a handful of birdseed over it, thereby justifying the £14.95 you’re going to charge.

Wank. Plenty of protein in that. Just saying.

@CatsAndEyeliner organised, compiled, selected.
None of those work for a look though @ToastyCrumpet

YANBU curated earrings is now a thing. Anyone who says/writes this is a tosser.

I also cannot fucking stand ‘showcase’.

One of my routine tasks is curating a scientific database. It really just means applying human intelligence to checking there isn't rubbish in it.

[waves] Give me a clue which database. Maybe we know each other.

Oh, it's very niche and proprietary. (are those words ok?)

Can we please remove

From the corporate dictionary of wankery too

@Xiaoxiong

It's the new "edit".

The Autumn Edit = you chose some things that seemed a bit autumnal

For some reason this really pisses me off.

It sounds awful to my ear outside of a discussion on art collection.

Also workshops belong to craftspeople.

@Mochudubh

In one of the meetings I minute, "surfacing" is used a lot. It sounds wanky to me but as I've no idea how to translate it I have to let it stand.

How is used? WTF does it mean?

@Mochudubh

They're not talking about whales or anything, I think it kind of means "finding"

But it doesn't mean finding. They are just completely making shit up.

@Averyyounggrandmaofsix

Can I add Circa?

Whats wrong with circa? It just means thereabouts.

Surfacing will just mean something like issues are arising.

Circa is millennia old. Latin.

Pieces when someone's talking about a couple of tops hanging up in their wardrobe ugh

"Shop the curated Winter collection" seen recently online somewhere. It's everything that's wrong with online shopping.

Agree! And let’s also remove:

Price point - it’s just price ffs
3 colour ways - 3 colours!!
And
My bad - there are no words to describe how wrong this is

The phrase "lived experience" is everywhere now - isn't this a tautology? How is someone's "lived experience" different from their "experience"?

@Othering

Surfacing will just mean something like issues are arising.

Yeah, something like that as in "The question we need to ask ourselves is how do we surface [the issue]" Usually IT related.

I genuinely have no clue so I just type it as it was said.

Bag of wank

'speaks to' and 'shine a light on'

oh and while we're at it, what was that all about Harry and Meghan 'shopping' their ideas to tv networks. Surely they were 'touting?'

It's up there with 'edit'.

As in 'Shop the Edit'. John Lewis, I'm looking at you.

Critique!
What's wrong with criticise?

Nuance(d) rather than detail(ed).
