grrrrr....
I feel your pain... however, I think "minty" evolved on ebay because
there are certain phrases you can't use
on ebay in a title...
e.g. I can't say "as new" but I can say "minty" - they actually took
down one of my auctions when
i used the phrase "as new" in my title !
so get off my back you guys - I'll try not to use anymore "trendy" new
speak..
gimmyabreak!

Ann, I'm afraid that you just poked one of my big linguistic peeves.
Do the lenses smell like toothpaste? If so, they are minty.
Are they in perfect condition, like a coin that has just been released
from the mint? If so, they are "mint", or in "mint condition".
Oh l@@k! Someone who shares one of my peeves! I'd definitely be
willing to buy a "lense" from you!
