Audiopile hyperbole, reference, SOTA, ultimate and more...

This is not to be a put-down, just wanting to hear from my fellow Audiopiles on some 
of the hyperbole/over used non-tech terms used in advertising items on this site.  It 
would seem that many of us in this wonderful hobby have taken "creative writing" 
courses. 

And there is always the condition words...ie:  Mint, Like-New, ___ hours or less, 

This is to be fun, if you are offended...well then that is part of the fun.

"Rare" is the worst. Especially when it comes time for that rare piece of equipment requiring parts or repair.

Outside of hyperbole, the classic "my kid pushed in the tweeter/dust cap... does not affect sound." Uh-huh.

I like when people are "regretfully selling their beloved" whatever.

I sure want to know it was in a smoke free house. Ever tried to rid a piece of gear of the smell of cigarettes? Oh my, not easy and it can overtake your listening room with that odor.

I agree with the "smoke free" thought.  I purchased an item that had the strongest cigarette smoke smell that I had no luck in getting out.  Sold it at a loss and posted the info about it having a strong smoke smell as I wanted a/the Buyer to know what they were getting.
