Sept 17th, 2018: The Manhattan
 

Since Trump gave you that huge tax cut don’t you think it’s about time to free yourself from those ghastly flying bus commercial
airlines with surly cabin attendants and rigid schedules. Go where you want, when you want, in a manner you and your guests deserve.
Why settle for a Bombardier or Gulfstream when you can move up to an Embraer Manhattan.

"bespoken" [emoji38]

Well you know them furiners don't talk gooder English like us do. :blush:

If you have to change flights, the The Manhattan Transfer will sing your itinerary.

I stumbled over that, too, but...

Just 'cuz it's a word don't mean they used it correctly.

They're implying that someone said the designs out loud.

Wouldn't that be the audiobook of The Great Gatsby?

Or maybe all the passengers are blind.

I've heard that recently on Goblin Works Garage (British show on Velocity). From context I took it to mean 'custom made' or 'one off'


be·spoke
bəˈspōk/

1. 1.
   past of bespeak.
   
   
   
   

adjectiveBritish

adjective: bespoke

1. 1.
   (of goods, especially clothing) made to order.
   "a bespoke suit"
   
   
   • (of a trader) creating made-to-order goods.
     "bespoke tailors"
     
     
   
   
   
   
   
   

Right. So it should be "bespoke" designs. The adjective can't be put in the past tense like the verb can. You are not a "larged" man.

well, some times I get Larged.

I got the impression that bespoken here meant indicated referring back to the latest in advanced.

Is saying:

Experience the splendor of a bygone era while enjoying the latest in advanced flight avionics and the latest in advanced designs.

I will not turn this into a shark/dolphin//squirrel/tree//airplane/treadmill discussion.

^bespeaks deconfliction^

I prefer to get small. :rolleyes:

Had a sleepover at the bartendress' house.

When it all started, I was larged. When it all was over, I was somehow ensmalled. And enshrivelled.

But, great fun was had on the way to The Ensamllening.

Great fun.

I just saw Bespoke used in some video about something. I think it may become one of those annoying words that has a huge comeback.

So, 'bespoked' means like a bicycle/motorcycle wheel?

Bespoke can just go back under the rock it came out of. I first heard it in the last year or two, and you are right that it is increasing in frequency. Somebody ought to do one of those Google trend word searches to back me up.

Now, change the date range to last 12 months - or less - and check in which subregion it's most popular.

"Bespoke" is something made by hipsters. You buy it at a pretentious shop, and they charge way too much for it. It's one level worse than artisanal.

"Bespoken" is the wrong word in this context. It's basically a typo.

In fact, here it is if you just isolate DC over the last 5 years:

Pretty remarkable and you are definitely in touch with lingo of your region!

One off = bespoke

It's a word that comes and goes with the economy. Custom, personalized fashion is something rich people pay for, and there is a lot less of a demand for it in a recession.

Irregardless, its use will remain divisive.

Sweet! Thank you

Are you sure you aren't my second EX, that was her pet word and her passion was stirring shit. :eyebrow:

Yeah, no.

"Bespoken" is perfectly cromulent in this context.

I doubt many linguists or english professors will be buying these babies. :headshake

As a peasant English speaker who doesn't hobnob with linguists or english [sic] professors, you don't have to worry about that. :yesnod:

Is tricksy; because, "bespoken" means "engaged" as in "She bespoken for." :lol:

I am a word geek of a slightly aberrant nature, and while this isn't actually a word, it absolutely should be.

I am officially in love. :love:

Oh, it's a word, baby!

Our word!

Heh, that's a fun thread.

I'll bespoken tomorrow morning. That means I'll have to hand-set my alarm.

I will be besmoken a little later today.

Bemoken - adj - Stoned

Probably not much call for one of the these on your bizjet, but at least it would be in good company with all the other bespooky stuff.

Their marketing person needed to pay attention in class, that is a fourth grade vocabulary word.

It's a term I've always associated with the tailoring trade, a 'bespoke suit' being made to measure as against 'off the peg'.
It seems to have an honourable enough past:

Separated by a Common Language, Observations on British and American English by an American linguist in the UK, is an interesting blog:

It just occurred to me that every public speech is also bespoke at the time of its creation (except that one Melania's staff plagiarized.)

Can't even drink my coffee without being bespoken to...

that is a better use of the word than in the Patio Room advertisement.
