    Curated.

    HBOMax just sent me an email where they claim they are putting up a 'carefully curated' collection of movies. Dumbass. Curated implies careful.

    But it's being used for EVERYTHING. Menus. Pizza toppings. Socks.

    Bah.

      Agree. Aggregation features on the internet gave rise to the term, after which point it became almost meaningless. It's now used to mean something like "picked."

      Please love yourself.

        In other news, the Society for the Avoidance of Redundancy Society has cancelled its monthly meeting.

        It was the most unique cancellation I heard of!

              Curated is commonly used to identify a nitwit.

                        I use the word curated sometimes. Correctly, as far as I know.

                        I like the Steam "curators" feature too.

                        Education is extremely important.
