Oh okay, I probably wouldn't remember it then. Yeah I was watching a YouTube video and the woman kept saying Tar-jhay (Tar-zhay, whatever) and I was like "What is she talking about?" and "I saw that item at Target!" and then I got it LOLOriginally Posted by magicalmom /img/forum/go_quote.gif
It's actually an old ad campaign of theirs (from the 90s? Maybe?) where they had all these fantastically campy commercials about how classy and upscale they were now, so they wanted you to call the store tar-jhay instead of Target (it's a bastardized French pronunciation). My mom and I loved them, and still call the store Tar-jhay.
I tried finding an old commercial on YouTube, but was unsuccessful. Here's a link to Urban Dictionary, though:
