oesgepoets
Die woord is opgemaak - ek het van my tydskrifkennisse gevra om dit te sirkuleer
"Oes" = slordig, verslete
"gepoets" = polished
Ek voel die term "informeel geslete" is wel korrek, maar in die binneversieringwereld is dit dalk te formeel of direk vertaal.

| Ek dink dis 'n goeie skepping, maar jou ander woord nl. "ingeleef sjiek" word deur binneversierders verkies. |

: Wat 'n lekker woord! Val goed op die tong. En "oes" kan ook verwys na die ougoed wat 'n mens soms in 'n winkel wat ou gebruikte goed verkoop, vind.
