Ok is it just me or does anyone else's skin crawl when they hear/read the much over used word "yummy"? Even worse when a man says it. What ever happened to delicious, or tasty? I don't know what it is about that word, maybe it sounds childish? Anyone else feel this way?

Not yummy, but I know lots of people dislike the word moist.

My uncomfortable trigger word is cluster

I gagged even typing it

@LadyAlyxandrea As in cluster-fuck! I would describe Brexit in such terms!

@LadyAlyxandrea, @Marionville
How about a moist cluster fuck, that should do it for everyone !

My bothersome thing to hear is "he is the bomb but has a short fuse". Excuse me I am going to go vomit and cry.

I have never heard this phrase and am very thankful for that. It irritates me by reading it.

Me too.....ugh!

My least favorite word. UGH is right!

No problems with Yummy. The word I do have a problem with is Awesome! It seems to have become the most overused word recently, especially amongst Americans. There are only a few things that I could reasonably use that adjective to describe, as awe is something only great and inspiring things or events could induce, for instance viewing the Grand Canyon!

I think maybe you think yummy sounds childish because It rhymes with mummy. We have an expression here “yummy mummies” and that does give me the shudders!

@Marionville better than milf though ?

@SimonCyrene Just about!

@minhmeister Give me a like then if you agree!

@minhmeister I like a man who does what he’s told, so I have reciprocated!

Yummy.

Nope. Nothing.

Worse than yummy? Nummy. Where did that come from? Actually, "worse than yummy" is a great name for something, don't you think? a novel? a film? a band? Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for "Worse Than Yummy!"

Yummy - No big deal. Nummy, however, is something you say to a toddler. ICK

Worse is the Australianism, 'yummo' (gags).

Yummo is not worse. I hate the 'e' sound on the end of words like biccy mummy, yummy, tummy . They sound like toddler words. But frankly I haven't heard the word 'yummy' or 'yummo' in yrs. I have been known to exclaim 'That's delish!' however.

" Yummy ! A moist cluster fuck. Yum yum, my favourite words in one delish sentence. "

So excited by that phrase that you had to say it twice! I’m beginning to think you’re a dirty old man!

@Marionville
Maybe, maybe not ! But thanks for pointing it out to me. Had no idea I posted it twice. Have now deleted one.

I agree and it does sound a bit childish. Perhaps it began with cooking shows like Rachel Ray...remember "Yum-O"? Maybe folks are too lazy about language to dig up words like savory, succulent and tantalizing to describe the food. The other possible explanation is they don't have the vocabulary.

I don't often hear the word "yummy". I do, however, know someone who consistently calls an app an "ab", as in I just downloaded a new "ab" or my new phone has a lot of "abs". I don't know why, but it drives me nuts when he says things like this.

Sounds yummy to me!

It is assuredly not just you. I can't stand all those words ending in 'ummy,' either. Also, when people refer to an objectionable concept as 'icky' or 'gross.'. Let's use adult words, thanks.

Everyone has something that bothers them. As long as this is not expected to bother everyone or pushed on everyone that is fine. I also feel swear words are a bunch of BS.

the trend to end everything in the "-y" sound drive me batty. I mean nutty.

Nope!

Happyhiker, I use whatever word fits. If it is yummy I will use it. I have no problem with it. I use delicious and tasty also.

The words use in Young Frankenstein is classic🙂 I’m not bothered nor do I use it... dated a girl for 3 years that was militantly opposed. Personally I don’t care, simply not on my radar... but she explained her opposition to this linguistic jewel on our first date... going forward I’m taking it as a red flag.

I have no problem with it.

Thats why youre the problem.

@bmandjk YUMMY!!

@bmandjk YUMMY!!

Depends on the context. The word itself doesn't bother me at all.
