Abused Words, number 94: "Stylish"

Has anyone, unpacking a product described in the marketing blurb as "Stylish", thought to themselves "My, what a stylish [xxxxx]"?

Yet we still see this description added to bulleted feature lists on a regular basis. Even on products that have sufficient actual features to render any such padding superfluous.
