"storm of the century" to describe any major storm

Disagree. If they possess a skill, i.e. cooking and preparing quality food in an appetizing manner, they are an artisan by definition.

You don't find value in it, and that's fine, but others certainly do.

But, the term is being applied everywhere. Artisanal beer, artisanal tacos, artisanal cupcakes.

It's like Chilean Sea Bass, it's a term conjured up by a marketing department.

This one is the worst for me. When I was going through a rough divorce, I heard this countless times. I understand that they were trying to be supportive but it just made me feel worse.
I have always felt that it was offered by people that could not think of anything constructive to say.

Probably the most meaningless phrase IMO.
