Top marks to The Sunday Mail’s Petra Starke for compiling a list of euphemisms used by The Block judges Shaynna Blaze, Neale Whitaker and Darren Palmer.

Her “handy glossary of design terms to help you understand what’s really going on” is hilariously true (and I wish I’d thought of it!).

“European-style laundry” – a tiny room that’s too small to actually do laundry in.

“Statement rug” — so expensive that exactly what the statement is will become apparent after you spill your first red wine on it.

“Butler’s pantry” — a walk-in-wardrobe for your dirty dishes.

“Venetian plaster” — like regular plaster but with more tourists.

“Melbourne styling” — looks like someone would drink coffee in it.

“Scandinavian styling” — looks like someone would have a sauna in it.

“Hollywood styling” — looks like someone would do cocaine in it.

“Wow factor” — something in the room is gold.

“Sexy” — something in the room is black.

“High end” — you can’t afford it.

“Artwork” — a royalty-free photo someone found on the internet, blew up in Photoshop, printed on to canvas in China and then charged $300 for.
