I keep on seeing this phrase used when describing items for sale on FB marketplace recently and it’s driving me bonkers, I hate it.
For example - “Here we have a piece of old tat that I’ve badly upcycled in a poor attempt to make a few quid”.
Much prefer the straightforward descriptions - “piece of old tat, condition isn’t great but might suit someone in need”.
I’m not even sure WHY it pisses me off so much, maybe it’s because I think they’re trying to make their item sound fancy (and they’re never fancy items!)
So, AIBU?
