殖民地時代，遍地都是「英皇御准」甚麼甚麼的招牌字樣。自懂事以來，便將「御」字視為皇帝的代名詞，深信不疑。
咦？怎麼近來發現此字的用法已經改變了？八掛雜誌封面大字標題，說傳聞城中富豪「御准」女助手大肚…女人懷孕，要得到別人的准許已經是啼笑皆非，除非她的腹中塊肉是龍種或是某個皇帝是經手人，否則哪裡來「御准」之有？
好，就當是雜誌刻意使用這個詞語以凸出事情的荒謬程度，帶有點點語帶相關兼諷刺意味吧！我明白，畢竟，要在今時今日創造力爆燈的八掛雜誌中挑剔用語言，實在是毫無意義和自討沒趣。
言猶在耳，某天晚上看娛樂新聞節目，主持人說為了到四川賑災，連樂壇校長都要「御駕親征」…天呀！為甚麼我們要晚晚在免費電視頻道中忍受著胡扯無聊的爛笑話和陳套電視劇之餘，還要看低水平的節目主持人貽笑大方的真人表演？節目是直播的，恨錯難返。好心的導演或監製們，當為廣大觀眾做些好事吧，請提點一下這位已經在網上討論區被網友狠批的主持人。
真的想知道，那些家住有「御」、「帝」、「璽」和「君臨」等字作為大廈名字的人，日子有功，是否會沾上點點君王之氣？當然，香港的樓盤名社會學，又是另一們學問了。

Seems to me that Showbiz Reporters tend to use every now and then the Term "戰利品" in such a typical Example as a Movie Star, Singer or some Celebrity being captured on such a Reporter's Camera Lens and being seen carrying a Bagful of 戰利品 after some "wild" Shopping (or 掃貨 as such Reporters usually put it). I think the Term "戰利品" is in such a Case misused (with its original Definition being distorted) in that such 戰利品 ----- that are definitely not free of Charge ----- are not obtainable by Plunder, Victory in Warfare or Winning on a Wheel of Fortune by being looked upon with Favour by Lady Luck but have to be paid for.
Other perfect Samples of Perverting are "御用化妝師", "御用髮型師" and the Like, all not in the Service of any Sovereign but serving merely Populace such as certain Figures in the Entertainment Field.

Further Remarks from the same Writer of the above Comments:
On a related Matter, the Situation has also given Rise to other Terms namely, 戰衣 and 戰車. Likewise, these Terms seemingly also yield exaggerative Meanings.
Other perfect Samples of Perverting are "御用化妝師", "御用髮型師" and the Like, all not in the Service of any Sovereign but serving merely Populace such as certain Figures in the Entertainment Field.
A Supplement to my Passage stated above:
If such a highly complimentary, prestigious, hard-earned Designation as "御用" is bestowed upon such so-called 御用化妝師, 御用髮型師, 御用時裝設計師 and so forth ----- contrary to the Fact that any of such People is neither by Appointment to say a Monarch; nor can the Service rendered by any of such People be considered "imperial" or "royal" ----- i would consider this unfair to Law Practitioners known as 御用大律師 (Queen's Counsel) practising in Hong Kong in the colonial Epoch [the Title "御用大律師 (Queen's Counsel)" has to cope with the Reunification of Hong Kong with China in the Year 1997 and after that Year evolved into "資深大律師" (Senior Counsel)", though]. Those law-related Professionals, as their former Title implies, were really eligible to be bestowed the honorary Title "御用" since they were in Her Majesty's Service.
