bickster Posted May 29, 2023 Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2023 The word curated when used in connection with making a playlist As a side note to this, there was a trailer on 6Music for some show that was a playlist put together by the band Jockstrap, not only did they have the most uninteresting monotonal voices but the fella said curated in a particular way that really grated on me. Fecking curating a playlist, sod off you pompous words removed And yes I know it’s the definition of the word, that’s why it’s in here and it pisses me off because it just used to be used in relation to museum and art galleries. They'll be calling DJs Sonic Curators next. (Remember you heard it here first!) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s even worse when someone “curates” a festival. They put a gig on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both seem to have an unearned air of superiority about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 A mixologist is a word removed in a plaid shirt who sprinkles mint leaves into a mojito, while sporting a Dali moustache, and a monocle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted May 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2023 Farmers markets. Vegetables for three times the price just covered in more dirt. “artisanal honey or some other bs” meaning it’s tied up with twine that would look better in place holding up a pair of tramps trousers.

I was at a place once and everyone was drinking Mojito’s. They look like they’d taste horrible but I was intrigued… yes, they taste how they look.

Pick the mint from the garden and the lime off the tree, use rum made from sugar cane we grow in the yard. Delicious! I lied about the rum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay out the arse, but get ripe produce that tastes like it's supposed to, instead of the flavourless shite that's picked far too early and has varieties chosen for shelf life rather than taste. Supermarket soft fruits are terrible, may as well not bother. And that's just stuff we can produce in the UK, tropical fruits are even worse. The crap we have masquerading as mangos and bananas are a disgrace. Edited May 30, 2023 by Davkaus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Blind taste test is the only way to go. Get your artisan honey where the bee keeper personally jerked off each bee, and get the stuff in a squeezie bottle from Tesco, and see if you can spot the difference in a blind taste test. I’m not 100% up on the details of how honey is made, but the principle of the blind taste test is the point here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A beejerker from the Dutch baejeverker personally jerks off individual bees. I saw it happen after a mate gave me a corner of a stamp to lick. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
