Authors of particular pieces of writing use language constructions to show woman as beautiful, stylish and trendy person, they frequently use special words (not typical for standard Polish), e.g. sexy, seksy, trendy, megakobieca, supertrendy, superkobieca and the like. In the text we also refer to overusing the above mentioned expressions.
