    Seen the advertisement for a non-prescription painkiller?  " For your pain journey".
    Or the one for an 'over 39' shampoo, " For your menopause journey".
    Frankly pathetic, and lazy, not to mention deeply, deeply annoying.  Every " journey" these days makes me cringe.

    I haven't followed this thread but wanted to add in "simplistic". I keep hearing it used on TV as a positive attribute, from people who should know better. It seems like people are trying to change its sense. In fact it is derogatory:

    "making something complicated seem simple by ignoring important parts of it"

    "simple but not effectively dealing with a real situation or problem, which is more complicated:"

    Go for it @star gaze lily. I haven't seen anything similar but please call it something else. The title of this thread has been a constant embarrassment! If I thought it'd run, I'd have been more careful🙄
