Yummy and Yucky.

[DemolitionLover]

AIBU to hate it when adults use words such as yum, yummy, yucky and yuck?

I see it quite often on here and it annoys me.

You need to get out more.

YANBU. It's cringey.

I must admit some things make me think yuck immediately as a Ines jerk reaction. Like infidelity or baby wiping instead of showering on a regular basis.

Ickyockycocky

I get out plenty thanks.

^ you shouldn't exactly need a book to know that those words are generally used by or to children...

What's your stance on words like bleugh and eeuw?

YANBU. See also icky, and nomnom.

om nom nom makes me want to reach into someone's chest, rip out their beating heart and eat it like an apple

This thread is so yucky, I'm off to find a yummy thread

What's your stance on words like bleugh and eeuw?

These words don't bother me really.

"eat it like an apple"

Nom nom.

Sorry don't agree

Both yum and yuck are essential words in some scenario IMO

"This is delicious" and "this is revolting" take so much longer to say/type

Totally agree, I can't take an adult seriously if they use words like yummy / yucky / tummy etc (unless in convert with a small child).
Also can't stand people who put 'y' on the end of food and drink, so if something were described as beefy or milky it was make me rage a bit, no idea why really!

Never even crossed my mind to be annoyed at something like this . There are so many other things I’m annoyed about. Yummy /yuck isn’t on the list.

Agree with a pp about nom nom - just why?! Drives me bonkers and always makes me think of the action/sound of someone eating with their mouth open and talking at the same time. Why would you want to replicate that?

I'm astonished people have the time and inclination to be bothered about such things.

Makes me so annoyed that I could actually weep. It’s especially irritating in contexts such as social media posts whereby a person is referring to their own cooking:

Just made a really yummy stir fry - nom nom.

aaaaaaaargh
