What exactly is a "Bespoke Airport" ....


Recommended Posts

Here you go, it would seem the work is being used 'incorrectly'?

I have seen this word used to describe a young lady in the 1700s when the relationship was somewhere between "going steady" and engaged.

In this context, I think they are trying to say handcrafted.

... and how are they different from any other airport, or a handcrafted default airport that comes with a given price tier of the simulator?

Thank you all for your kind explanations, but I think I like this one best. As an older person it really speaks to me, as I know quite a few younger people who think they're the "bees knees", just because they've discovered within their own generation, something that's been around all along!

 

I will now equate "bespoke" with "hand crafted", and "curated"... as I know millennials can't resist the sounds of those words either.

I think this is a term that never went out of style in the UK... but maybe got resurected in North America thanks to British TV content. Specifically, from Top Gear and Grand Tour, when they would on occasion talk about EXTREMELY exclusive fancy cars. Like the Singer 911, and one insanely priced and incredibly beautiful "enhanced Jaguar" convertible whose shop name escapes me now.

 

Frankly when I heard it when younger, I had no idea what it meant. And in recent years hearing it on TopGear I had to actually look up the word's meaning!

Stumbled across this thread looking up the definition myself. Now could somebody ask those designers to "Bespoke" the bridges as well as the airports.

For a more nuanced explanation ...

 

Bespoke: derived from the verb bespeak (to "speak for something"). First cited, in the verb form, in the Oxford English Dictionary (1583 ed.): "to speak for, to arrange for, engage beforehand: to 'order' (goods)”.

 

Crept into the tailors' lexicon whereby a gentleman would arrange, or speak for, his desired cloth, ensuring that it would not be sold to somebody else.

 

Today, bespoke is synonymous with the top end of men's tailoring. Rather than a reference to the cloth, bespoke now denotes the way in which a suit is created.

 

FYI.

 

Regards,

Dorian

I am an American having now lived in the UK for over 20 years. The term is still used here in the UK on a daily basis, generally meaning "tailor made". You still see it in online and magazine ads etc and on shop fronts, for example, Bespoke Men's Suits, Bespoke Furniture.
