Words that should be banned from adverts...

I know it's a Friday so here we go...

Terms like "Bargain", "Deal", "Massive Discount", etc. etc. is very objective and I don't think they add value in adverts. The reason you are discounting your very expensive old bike is the fact that it is not selling for the price you think it is worth, you are not selling it for a discount.

Rant over, have a great weekend.

Another term that should be banned - "urgent sale". If it's an urgent sale, I'm expecting a bargain basement price, not retail you paid for back then less a bit of depreciation.
