If someone uses the word 'curate' they'd better be preparing to show me a shoebox filled with their favorite vaseline glass and not a pile of random deli meat on a wooden board
Lemme get that shark cootchie board of curated meats
I feel like museums should get a pass on this one.
But along these lines, I’m SO over “bespoke.”
10 years ago I learnt that southern New Zealand slang uses bespoke or custom as an indicator of poor quality. Someone shittly welded a tow ball onto their car, that's a 'custom job'.
Your poorly assembled second hand IKEA bookshelf that's falling apart and well fucked? A bespoke piece of furniture.
Those words have never bothered me since. Thanks kiwis.
It's never a mistake, it's performance art.
Theres a hairdressers near me that is "Bespoke hair artistry" or some other pretentious bullshit.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Its not as bad as the overpriced clothing store "Bazaar Boutique Emporium"
Which is basically all white linen clothing.
Would you settle for a single clergyman?
Sure, but only if they're a member of the presbyterium and not laity, then they're just 'the pastor's secretary'
I don't even like when people say that in context of a playlist on a music streaming platform...
I mean maybe they spent a lot of time picking individual songs but it's still just a digital playlist, nothing that special IMO
I actually love the word curate :(
Unless used pretentiously. But then any word is annoying
