Fetching

"So I don't need to fetch him?" "if you can get him to re-think and come then yes, you're very fetching, so go, fetch away.

Fetching, it's quite a word, a new favorite of mine. When someone says they're fetching something it truly makes my day. 1 they sound educated, I'm not sure why but they do. 2 they sound old fashioned. I adore old fashioned anything.

Someone described as fetching? I picture them looking something like Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, or Grace Kelly. Need I say more? Being described as fetching is quite a compliment in my book.

Please don't use fetch as a pretend cuss word. It takes all the elegance out of the word and makes you sound strange. Use something else please. Good grief should suffice.
