I have started to see the word "edit" show up in marketing lately -- a clothing store had a "gifting edit" (I'm not sure what that means!" and South Street Seaport advertized their "Holiday Edit" or something like that. Is this an awkward borrowing from dance music or something?
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Sunday, 30 November 2014 16:05 (nine years ago) link
From Oxford Dictionary online:
edit (noun)
A featured selection of clothes, accessories, beauty products, etc. from a particular season or collection: 'this is ELLE’s personal Autumn/Winter 2012 edit'
A 'radio edit' involves taking stuff out to make the running time shorter, but I suppose it also effectively means choosing the bits to 'feature'. Photographers talk about doing an 'edit' (choosing the images to use from a shoot or whatever). That again involves getting rid of the out-takes and choosing the best images. Same with film-editing and the 'cutting room floor'.

most online fashion stores have an 'edit'. I guess it comes from 'fashion editors' picks'
― kinder, Sunday, 30 November 2014 16:46 (nine years ago) link
Is that a relatively recent usage? Dictionary example is a fashion mag from 2012.

xp I think it's one of those words that probably serves its purpose well but still irritates me because it elevates something that's actually pretty simple, kind of like "curate" -- we chose some stuff that we like.

why is "throwing shade" annoying? it fulfills a very linguistically precise function.

i mean yeah it can be appropriative for sure but so much that is conjecture, like who is allowed to say a word?
― (曇り) (clouds), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 19:26 (nine years ago) link
in the 50s referring to someone as "dude" "man" etc was black/beat slang
― (曇り) (clouds), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 19:27 (nine years ago) link
it's not the appropriateness that bothers me, it's the forced casualness - cloaking smoldering rage behind a cute idiom
― Mordy, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 19:28 (nine years ago) link
appropriativeness* but that isn't a word acc to spellcheck
another option is not to (hate-read) ppl who use such terms
― vigetable (La Lechera), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 19:29 (nine years ago) link
okay i see what you mean xps
my spellcheck doesn't recognize "appropriative" (or "spellcheck")

another option to what? complaining about them? why not both?
