A bitchin' lexicographer? Definitely not.

Not sure why I'm bothering here, but anyway:

 A while back, the Cod had occasion to suggest that the height and color of the host's heels was not the best way to promote a cooking show.  Did not mention the name of the show, but a FB friend posted something from the same person, who is Nadia G, of Bitchin Kitchen:

And thus far, 100 of the dumbest comments ever posted on Facebook, which is saying something. And nobody bothered to remember that the OED is an historical dictionary: 

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is widely regarded as the accepted authority on the English language. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of 600,000 words— past and present—from across the English-speaking world.

As a historical dictionary, the OED is very different from those of current English, in which the focus is on present-day meanings. You'll still find these in the OED, but you'll also find the history of individual words, and of the language—traced through 3 million quotations, from classic literature and specialist periodicals to films scripts and cookery books.

And "cassette"? Whoomp, there it is.  It's possible that Nadia G may have the worst social media team of any ostensible celebrity chef. Hard to imagine that the whole enterprise did not begin with a TV exec saying "Let's take one of those roller derby chicks, and put her in the kitchen!" Play us off, Tag Team.

When I first saw the promo for her bitchin' show, I WTF'd a lot. Another legendary Food TV program.

One time I was involuntarily exposed to her show for approximately 5 minutes. I think she might be an alien.
