Simon Biagi - did you really mean to say that?

[Yorkdel]

I’ve just seen Simon Biagi describe this product -

https://www.qvcuk.com/Luxform-Two-Headed-Rotating-Lamp-Post.product.722389.html?sc=24HR
by saying that it was “quite meritricious”

I had to look up that word and the definition I came across says
“

1.
apparently attractive but having no real value.
"meretricious souvenirs for the tourist trade"

Similar:
flashy,
pretentious,
gaudy,
tawdry,
trashy,
garish,,
chintzy
loud,
tinselly,
cheap,
tasteless,
kitschy,
false,
artificial,
fake
bogus

• 2.
  ARCHAIC
  relating to or characteristic of a prostitute
• 
  
• 
  The truth will out, Simon. Hmmmm???❤

He should know better. His thought was probably that lamp had merit.

 

[Brissles]

Two head rotating !! he would have been better off saying it exorcist -ism.

 

[May]

can’t make it up

 

[Toril]

He should have added “hideous.”

(Apologies to anyone who likes it and has ordered it.)

Just read them. Gosh, they are bad.

 

[maymorganlondon]

Meritorious would have worked. Sometimes a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!

All one star apart from one, spurious five star from Milly (or should that be Jilly??)

 

[JeepSwensonfan]

Those reviews won't be up for long.

 

[Mazza]

Ooh, I’m archaic! That is the meaning I knew for that word, .

 

[Silver Fox]

Utterly hideous, just think nearly £6 to open a box realise the level of bad taste you had stooped to, seal it up & spend more money to get rid.

They're all at it. JF has just called a pair of pyjamas a "two piece collection".

Are you sure Simon wasn't describing himself and not the lamp

I didn’t hear him describing the lamp as a pr@tt ?

She is trying to justify the price, maybe. The other day they were trying to persuade me that I could use the pyjama top to go out in, do my shopping etc. Sorry, for me, pyjamas are for sleeping in and not to be seen in public. Trying to justify high prices, by making them seem greater value. Mind you, being two different sizes, top and bottom I like Marks where I can buy just pyjama bottoms or tops.
