Do you use these words: BESPOKE and (unrelated) CORRIDOR.

No. I’ve never used bespoke in every day talk. I have used corridor, though not often.

Occasionally, for both. I normally use bespoke when referring to British fashion because that is where I see the term used. To me it’s just another word for custom, unless there are differences I am unaware of.

I use bespoke here and there. As long as it doesn't turn into the new "curated" for someone, I'm ok with its use.

The only time I use the word corridor is when referencing a part of town here called the Energy Corridor. I would never use it interchangeably with hallway.

ETA: I first heard the word bespoke about 15 years ago when I was engaged to a former Savile Row tailor.

I used "bespoke" not long ago when talking about specially made dollhouse furniture. But that was in the auction description. Normally I'd hear it in regards to a suit. It's not something I'd normally have any reason to say.

I would more likely say hallway but I'm sure I've used corridor in the past. There is the I95 Corridor, for example, and sometimes large hallways in large buildings will be described that way. Not something I'd typically use when hall or hallway would suffice.

I use bespoke, but not corridor. A friend of mine has “bespoke” tattooed on the back of her neck.

No, but now I "get" the name of a friend's at home business that has bespoke in the title... Corridor I've heard (BBC shows) but don't use.  Actually I've heard of the I-5 corridor before, I guess the I-5 Hallway would sound strange for a freeway...  

Off topic... but on the subject of words and their use... Today I ran across something along the lines of 'you've to do bla bla bla...' and it totally is irritating me. I would never use the you + have contraction in a sentence like that I'd say 'you have to do bla bla bla'. Maybe it's regional? Writerly (it was a writing website...)? Normal and I've just not noticed in the last 41 years?

Sorry for the slight hijack/rant...

I'm like most others. Bespoke seems to be a more British word. We just use "custom" here in the US.

In my mind, a corridor is a wide hallway, with groups of something in it. So in a school, groups of classes/departments. ie: the "history corridor". We were in the Pentagon last week and referred to a hallway as the "Navy Corridor."

I often sashay down the corridor in my bespoke gowns cos I'm fancy!

Nope, never.

I’ve heard/read the word bespoke but didn’t know what it meant. Can’t say I have ever heard anyone say it irl.

I think the only time I use bespoke is when I am trying to make something sound pretentious.

Corridor is a common word here though. I live on the “I-66 corridor” and it is called that all the time. I don’t hear it often for hallway but often as a geographic term.

Yes to both. I wouldn’t use corridor if I was referring to a house.  Houses have halls/ hallways. Corridors as in schools or hospitals are usually longer with rooms/ offices or ward entrances off them. I would use bespoke mainly for furniture or a new kitchen that has been made specifically to the customers specification. Someone mentioned custom made further up the thread, bespoke is another word for custom made but unique in design.....a one off.

Bespoke, no. Corridor, yes.

Yes
