Fabrication Fabrication Fabrication

[C-Lion]

Is any one else heartily sick of hearing this new ‘buzzword’ that the QVC presenters have conjured up namely:-

FABRICATION

Sorry for shouting but it’s really rattling my chains now

My bugbear is wearing “a trouser”. It’s a pair of trousers. Also so fun. It’s either such fun or so much fun. Rant over

 

[alter ego]

I've managed to avoid the f-word so far but the trouser also makes me switch off.

The BA’s are always in a state of high excitement. ‘I’m so excited to bring you this!’ Abby Cleave is the worst offender, and as she is going to be on constantly throughout the summer with her endless offers on suncream, with all this excitement, her blood pressure will be sky high and her head will have exploded by August

Christmas in July could be a welcome distraction

Naughty step. Now.

Another new word being bandied around by the fashionistas is "modern". Both Ben di Lisi and Ruth Langsford describe some of their clothes as "modern." Most of these "modern" things are big, baggy dresses.

Mine is “lip.” I have two LIPS on which to apply lipstick. Mind you, that’s one of the many non-sensical words that they fling into a presentation that rattle my cage.

She’ll probably be flogging SkinSense to give as presents or Ultrasun for next year’s summer holidays.

The word that annoys me is “malleable”.

I was taught that this word stems from the Latin for ‘hammer’, i.e. an item is capable of being hammered into shape.

Presenters use it to describe anything that can be folded or moulded into shape.

It can also mean “easily led or pliable”
Descriptive of many of Q’s followers?

Fabrication also means made up lies as in "that's pure fabrication". So when they say the fabrication is ..... it could mean something else entirely, if that helps, C-lion. So maybe it's a cop-out.

Mine is "Colour Ways" When describing an item of clothing they say "It comes in 3 different colour ways". No it does not!!! It comes in 3 different colours, there are no ways just colours!!!

 

[Silver Fox]

Colourway always referred to a print or check fabric which was the same design but different colour combinations.

Nobody ever uses the word fabric!!! Surely that's what all garments are made of. There must be a QVC dictionary/phrase book the presenters have to study with their cocoa at night.

Oh, C-Lion…I’m so glad someone else picked up on the bl**dy ‘fabrication’ thing. It’s been grinding my gears for months! That and at least another squillion things
