I haven't seen gourmet yet.
If you see my saying 'God Damn' as I'm looking at items it means they expensive as fuck.

"Contact us for pricing."
If you have to ask, you can't afford it
POA == Piss off, assholes.
When I say to a client "this is a particularly complex area" it means they gonna pay.
Yeah, when I've heard that my immediate thought is "welp, guess I'm on my own".
I can't speak for everyone but I wouldn't apply that kind of pricing structure to someone who couldn't afford it or wouldn't get any value from it.
I'm an accountant and tax consultant.
Suppose a client contacted me, they're semi-retired with very little income, they need to resolve some business affairs from years ago in order to collect a pension or whatever. I'm going to tell them the hackiest workaround to achieve their goal, and tell them how to do it themselves, hopefully without really having to charge them even for the consult.
On the other hand if someone wants to sell their family farm for several million dollars and wants to know the tax ramifications, they're going to get the "particularly complex area" pricing, full written report, and so on and so forth.
That's good of you. I can't imagine every accountant is so flexible. Lawyers straight up have to charge most of the time, I think.
It could also be a technical expert, or the government (in which case, refer to the lawyer).

Correct 🤣
Apple and Mac come to mind.
The mini is actually a pretty good buy but it’s hardly how Apple has historically priced things.

Premium.
Oddly enough, I've always associated claims of being premium in advertising with it actually being garbage.
Yeah, the euphemism treadmill has gotten that one. Now you want select, legacy, platinum or some jumble of similar words.
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
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…
Exactly. It's a variant of "military grade" for those products where it would sound odd.
In my job, I need to use materials that have a mil spec; that means it's literally military grade, but it's just saying that it meets or exceeds a certain specification for X product that is used in the military in some way. IMO, if something says 'military grade', but isn't listing the mil spec(s) that it complies to, then it's essentially meaningless.
I do have a compass that I think was advertised as military grade. It's the same lensatic compass that is currently used by the military (...when they aren't using GPS...), except that it doesn't use tritium on the face. The half-life of tritium is about a decade, so it didn't seem like a great idea to pay a ton extra for something that would barely glow in the dark in 20 years or so.

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.

Depends on the context ie: Out of our price range vs “We live comfortably”

TBH if that was the tagline I'd be impressed.
