Maybe more fashion-related than style-related, but when any designer describes their style as "edgy" I want to punch them in the face.

Alpha as ****... actually scrap that, I like that one

"Wear it in good health"... for some reason that grates me everytime

and +1 on fierce... I've only seen it used on second rate reality shows. If I heard it IRL violence could occur

What do you propose to use instead? I'm not a big fan of it, but I use it a lot because I have a tough time coming up with alternatives.

OMG yes. Every designer must have used this phrase at least once in the past month.

To 'rock' as a verb, as in "you are really rocking that tweed jacket, Spoo!"

And 'sick' when used as a compliment, as in "that is a sick tie you are wearing, Bleachboy."

**** right off!
