When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

She is an influencer and sells a lot of product but many think she's an oddball with crazy ideas But they sell.
Goop was incorporated in 2011. According to Paltrow, the company's name came from someone telling her successful internet companies have double O's in their name, and she "wanted it to be a word that means nothing and could mean anything."

I know the word "goop to be something liquid but sticky, nodescript. But not what it means in connection with Paltrow. And definitely not rude!

: "Mohammad's definition" is NOT correct in this context and you are not giving any explanation of what the word means?//no, I'm not. "goopy" certainly doesn't mean sticky or rude here!

It means that she is even more synonymous with her website than Gwyneth Paltrow. You're confusing things by saying that goopy means trendsetting.
