It all started with Sinead Spain's utter disdain for the word 'fashionista'.
Please world can we agree to ban the word 'fashionista' - thanks

She tweeted how silly a word it was – and many agreed. Paula thinks 'epic' should be done away with completely - and Ian dislikes being called 'mate'.
@niamhhassell @sineadspain Also, "epic" and "legend" have completely lost their meaning and should be removed from EVERYTHING.
