“colorway”
I fucking hate that term.
I get that it’s used in industry to describe things but it just sounds douchey when regular people use it. Even more so in a Gear Swap post. Just put up a picture. We can see that your bindings are green. We don’t need you to tell us what “colorway” they are.
grumble grumble grumble
It amuses me that it’s so triggering. It’s come up here before. That’s, like, what it’s called. When there is a certain pattern of colors on an item - particularly when that item is available in several different patterns of colors, many of those patterns just different patterns of the same colors - there has to be a word for those patterns.
What word would you like people to use instead?
color?
I dunno. Seems new to me. When I was working in outdoor retail 20 years ago nobody used that term.

When I was working athletic retail 20 years ago, that’s the word we used and every kid who worked there knew what it meant.Quote:

not really that big of a deal
I watch Youtube while I workout and don't have a paid subscription, so lots of ads. The one that annoys me; guy in a fisherman's cap, someone off screen ask him what he wants, and he starts to blab on about he wants a job (long pause), that he doesn't hate, etc, etc. Makes me want to slap a millennial.
I guess it’s better than attempting flowery language for every description, a la Seinfeld.Quote:

If you watch a lot of YouTube it’s totally worth the $15 to go ad freeQuote:

He sounds like my great aunt from Florida w the raspy cancer voice.Quote:

YouTube goes on the 65” tv. I’m not hunching over my computer anymore to watch on a 15” screen. Or dog forbid my phone.
So yep, sad guy hates his job ads it is. Small screens annoy me.
Pericardium filled with 800ml of fluid. And a bit of blood which apparently is unusual. He had no energy and some chest pain so went in. Wasn’t getting blood to the rest of his body. Recovering now in a room.Quote:

So I went to the doctor the other day, and the nurse took my height and weight. I’m 6’1, and have been forever, and when she measured me it said 73 inches. All good. But when I was looking back at the notes, she put me down as 5’11. Somehow she did the conversion wrong.
I know that it doesn’t change anything, but I always make fun of the people who claim to be six foot but are really 5’10 so I don’t want the doctor to think I’m one of those people.
Ha, I’ve been 6’3” forever, but now I’m old and after a doc visit I measured 6’2.5”. I’m never going to that doc again.
yeah I’m 6’ not 5’ 11.5”
Or colors. "Colorway" seems like a weird word to me, too, when simply "colors" would suffice.Quote:
