Why is adding the word "house" to a word considered a putdown? Examples inside:

[Perknose]

"House xxxx" is what the establishment gives you unless you specify something better, as in the "house vodka", but it is not specifically generic, just a brand not good enough to advertise it's name.

My main gripe is that is quickly morphing into something thats abused beyond all belief. Things that dont make any sense such as the examples given herein, or calling this a "house thread", even though no namebrand version of this thread is available.

I wish the English language wasnt abused so.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I think it's a "put down" as you say because it implies some "do it yourself" mentality. Rather than using a name brand, you're using a generic brand. Rather than using a known dressing, you're using a house dressing.

I wouldn't consider it a put down though. Depending on where you're going, "house" can mean premier, special or the best.

So you dont want to be a house wife?

Hahahaha. That reminds me of that newscast detailing that teacher who got suspended for calling his student a "n*gga" as a joke.

This is the Official ATOT 'House Thread'. It's not especially bad, just not worth recommending.
