Four wallet-friendly offers!

Reklame for forskellige produkter. Findes der et bedre udtryk end 'tegnebogs-/pengepungsvenlige'?

som din pengepung vil synes om
Explanation:
It may be that I move in the wrong circles, but when you use a concrete metaphor for money, you say ”min/din (penge)pung”/ nowadays.

As a potential buyer, I probably wouldn’t react to advertising that uses ”tegnedrengen”, which to me is old-fashioned slang and slightly vulgar.

neutral  Anna Haxen: Prisgunstig er ikke et godt dansk ord efter min mening. Måske norsk? Minder mig om et af mine hadeord: "prisbillig". O.k. Point taken. Men i mine ører lyder "prisgunstig" altså som "gunstig for prisen".

  -> Du må selvfølgelig selv om, hvilke ord du vil synes om. Men prisbillig er et dårligt ord, fordi en pris ikke kan være billig. Det er varen, der er det. Derimod kan en pris godt være gunstig.

agree  Anna Haxen: Enig i at "tegnedrengen" kan virke rigtig irriterende på en potentiel køber.

neutral  Jeanette Brammer: Det synes jeg så ikke, du har ret i Randi, blandt andet giver en Google-søgning på "tegnedrengen" 288 hits, folk skriver "gribe til tegnedrengen" "hive tegnedrengen op af lommen" og i den dur, så det er altså meget indarbejdet i folks sprog.
1 hr
  -> Selvfølgelig findes det - den generation er jo ikke uddød endnu! Men 288 hits er altså ikke ret mange i sammenligning med de 65.300 på pengepung :-)
