EVOO or Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I don't mind either, I just hate when they use the acronyms to shorten it, then repeat ( win the same breath) the full version.
" You will need 2 Tablespoons of EVOO, Extra Virgin Olive Oil."
Why use the abbreviation if you're just going to say the full version anyway? I can understand if they do it once, the first Tim, but every time ??
Then there is the opposite, when they ue the acronym, don't explain it, and you have no idea what they mean. Especially in cooking shows, why not just say the ingredient in full instead of trying to save a fraction of a second of time.
"Delish" drives me crazy.
I agree with the "Medium" Sized onion ( or whatever). Just chop it up and give me the exact measurement.
I also hate ( but understand) some of the catch phrases or words you'll repetitively hear on the cooking shows , like " Bam" (Emeril ), "Crunchify" ( Flay)... I get why its done, but drives me crazy when I hear it ( 100 times ) and even crazier when you here other people working it into their own lingo.
