The 'monetizing' of language! Bespoke = $$$! "Provenance" is sexier than something's past ownership! The smarmy term "well-bought" makes my skin crawl when watching car auctions.
Any schlub can have a tailor measure him for a suit but it takes a truly
elite individual to have a bespoke suit.
Think of it as seduction. Language that's supposed to make you feel better about spending your hard-earned money. Puke.
Oh, and "sourced." No, you didn't find that rare part in a dealer parts department, you "sourced" it. Puke, puke, puke.
