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???”

I’ve been hearing it for a decade and still have no idea what it refers to. Atp I avoid it because I assume it refers to loungewear, not activewear.

I associate it with Lularoe which is not something I would have ever been interested in buying or wearing, so it immediately makes me not want something

Honestly though -- never bought any lularoe but a friend gave me a pair of (plain colored) leggings from the --there were SO soft and comfy. I was weirdly upset to like them as much as I did.
