"Bespoke" became a cool kids word on Wall Street about 10 years ago. Having been in the biz for 25 years at the time, I had to look it up. And then I found, as was often the case, there was a perfectly acceptable word - "customized" - that had been around since forever, but apparently wasn't cool enough.
Yeah. It's also "Britspeak". My wife's English magazines use it for anything custom-made. Look at the prices of the 'bespoke' goods and another word comes to mind....'outrageously expensive'.

Yuppers
What did I tell you about Yeppers.
Oh I love the office.
Bespoke is the British way of customized. Bit gobsmacked to see it used by Yanks. Tut, tut, you see, my fine fellow.
LOL same as "cured" for those ballots getting "fixed"....
Don't forget "interrogated" to mean examined, or even just "read."
I just finished interrogating the last Stephen King novel.
It was pretty good. Although it did cry a lot at the end.
Considering Stephen King's addiction to the slow excruciating death of women characters, I'd enjoy interrogating him in the traditional way, really.
Aww snap! ЁЯШН
The newest one out?
