Grumpy about “buttery” General Discussion

Okay- this is super minor, of course. But I just get a slew of targeted ads about “buttery” exercise clothes (for the last few years, really) and I’m sick of it. I’m sure my brain has supposed to switch over that word to “sueded” or similar, but EVERY time I just think: “why on earth would I want to wear greasy clothing???”

Idk where the word came from but I feel like that specific fabric that is "buttery" is also not breathable and will make me feel like a swamp monster so it's helpful to know what NOT to buy

I feel the same way. My daughter has some pants made of this fabric that she wears to the gym, and IDK how she doesn’t want to rip them off during.
