They were less PC times back then, but I heard a HS football coach once describe a teammate that way. He said he was 'so black he was blue'. The guy was nicknamed 'blue' from that day on.

In fashion writing, something "feels" a certain way. E.g. "This jacket feels so of-the-moment."

 

[JayJay]

"killer"

 

[Dr Huh?]

"Black goes with everything"

 

[celeste_pista]

[____________] chic

 

[chroMe]

'on trend'

and RETRO or vtg

"Enjoy". I'll fuc**** decide if I'm going to like something.
"Price point". Oh, you mean price?
"Artisan" and "artisanal". Enough said.

Oh, and BY FAR the most annoying thing of all is using "pair" for the plural, "pairs". How hard is that? You are selling two PAIRS of shoes. Does your pair of pants have two leg?

 

[JustChris]

"Grail"- oh, you mean the thing you want right now? That you'll be selling in a few months to fund a new "grail" item? "Colorway"- as said before, utterly superfluous, since "color" works just fine. "Pull the trigger"- oh, you mean buy? You're not mowing down zombies with an AK-47, you're purchasing clothes. "Kop"- what the **** is this? The word you meant to type is "buy". "On point"- "Oh, that jacket is soooo on point." What point is it on? Stupid, meaningless phrase. "Curated"- "Our space has a carefully curated collection of fine goods for the discerning man." Dude, after I punch you in the face, I'm walking out of your overpriced boutique and going to a store that's stocked with clothes. You're not running a museum, jackass.
