In defense of "toning" and "sculpting"--it seems to me that they're used and meant to be understood metaphorically. Nothing wrong with metaphor per se! But like so many once fresh, vivid, and meaningful terms, they've become cliches through overuse. I suspect it's the triteness/predictability that's getting on our nerves. |

Basically, it just bothers me when words are not used properly. Another that bugs me (not fitness-related, obviously) is when restaurants or hotels call customers 'guests.' No, I'm not a guest. If I were, I wouldn't be expected to pay. |
