And if you learned it this week, abandon whatever idea you have for it. It’s too late.
sorry, people didn’t know the word demure before this?!
Rising Star
Ha yeah, I don't blame them at all, it's not their fault they're this way
Um..how is no one getting what OP is saying? It’s trending this week on socials. Look it up.

That’s not how I took it. OP said for the first time this week, as in no one really uses that word and now it’s popping up all over the last few weeks. I don’t believe they posted to insult CDs as if we have no vocabulary skills. They were more having a laugh at the trend of it all. Peeps need to chill and not get so easily offended.
This is a crazy statement. Demure is a traditional word I bet you our CDs have known for years
I feel like this is a “demure deez nuts” joke.

Demure is a known word. How it’s being used in TikTok is laughable
The word appears in Shakespeare. It’s not new.

By the time I look this up it won’t be trending

Just remember: When your ‘demure’ idea gets rejected, it’s not because the CD is too old, but because the idea sucks.
Unless if it’s for a little social post, then go ahead

If they’re just hearing a pretty old and very well known word for the first time this week then they shouldn’t be at CD level
Rising Star
I know that. But any creative director shouldn’t be hearing a common word like “demure” for this first time this week.
Means nothing. Be gone in a week.
Something tells me OP’s distain for CD’s is because too many found their portfolio to be not cute, not mindful and not demure
Op is so brat
