To add: French words outside of French speaking countries (like GiorgioPerlasca said)

Premium.
I always see premium nowadays as “not the absolute bottom of the barrel”
-
Premium hotel room: not the cupboard in the basement with a single mattress and a broken TV but the next one up. No view or anything though unless you upgrade to a deluxe or higher
-
Premium economy seat on a flight: basically cattle class but with one inch extra leg room and fake leather seat cushions. Still can’t lie down or access better loos like in business or first class
-
Premium spirits: supermarket own-brand spirits but in a glass bottle rather than the super cheap shit they sell in plastic bottles
Etc…

Oddly enough, I’ve always associated claims of being premium in advertising with it actually being garbage.

I think it definitely has gotten a tarnished reputation. But even modern software tiers are standard, advanced, premium and premium means you get all the features at a huge price

The mini is actually a pretty good buy but it’s hardly how Apple has historically priced things.

The irony is that there’s two kinds of consumers here. Either it’s a rich yoga lady buying from an influencer, or it’s, like, an African person buying from another African person. Anyone in the middle just enjoys the wonders of industry.
