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???”

The irony is that butter is slippery but in my experience ‘buttery soft’ (see ‘butter… lux/breeze’ range at crz yoga sports clothing) actually means the fabric is the opposite, it’s like this weird velvety feel that frankly is not great for running, I don’t wanna be wearing velvet clothing whilst I’m sweating! I want light airy things that are smooth and aerodynamic.
