Nothing wrong with:

“Yummy Yummy Yummy
I’ve got love in my tummy
And I feel like I’m loving you... “

Great song.

I’m starting to find the word cringe quite cringe. It’s like an icky inception.

Adults that say yummy or, even worse, yum or nom, are sad. It's so childish

I remember though, one poster who was talking about her CAR having a poorly tummy. She meant engine trouble

I think that "high tummy" is a mis-spelling of "huge tummy".

Gets on my goat to ans when people use the word lush to.

Howlooseisyourgoose · 30/09/2020 01:15

Buckwheat80 · 30/09/2020 01:17

I agree OP - it's up there with people who say "[x] sleeps until [x]" and nom nom nom.

SuzieQQQ · 30/09/2020 07:10

Nom Nom, yummy mummy . 🤮🤮

@howlooseisyourgoose an outrageous sentence. Go to your room and think about what you have done! Wink

The Harry Styles song where he’s singing “I want your belly “

What the fuck is that about

Parents always used ‘sore tummies’ for diarrhoea and/or constipation . Can’t abide that phrase now funnily enough .

I’ve never yet come up with a decent word for my vulva and I’ve had problems with it since I was a child - so many, many times I’ve found myself calling it ‘downstairs’, ‘down below’, ‘down there’ ... vulva never seems appropriate and I’m not sure why - as I think if I were a man then penis would be absolutely fine !

When working for the NHS most colleagues seemed to call it a ‘front’ as in ‘just need to give your front a wee wash now Mavis...’ . Can’t remember what we used for men tbh .

I left the Slimming Club because whenever the subject of food was discussed the word yummy was used in every sentence, in the end I couldnt stand it and left. (having successfully achieved my target weight anyway).

NerrSnerr · 30/09/2020 09:36

I do get irrationally annoyed on Mumsnet when people are talking about food and they say, 'for lunch I had a huge salad- yum!' I know people say what they like but it really irritates me.

Belly reminds me of that advert were a big belly chases a guy down the road saying belly’s gonna get you

My MiL had kindly looked after DD for a day and, when I came to fetch her, discreetly told me that "her nappies were a little loose".
Initially thought she hadn't been pulling the tapes across securely enough Smile

As for "yummy", I'd take that every time against a former friend's versions of: "I luffs my , I do!", followed by a good old visible massage of her lips with her tongue and a huge "Slurrrp!" noise.
I hate the 😋 emoji because it reminds me of that.

Haha, I'm kicking myself for nor getting 'nomnom' in there!

Pebblexox · 30/09/2020 10:00

I use yummy and yummy often. Mostly when I'm talking to my daughter, but I will say I've got a funny tummy when I'm not feeling good and if food is nice, I'll say yummy.

Flatpackback · 30/09/2020 10:03

There's so many that drive me mad...tummy, grown ups, "the people's..."

PenCreed · 30/09/2020 10:08

I also hate "yummy". But not quite as much as I hate the favoured phrase of someone I know for food they've enjoyed: "delish". Every fucking thing she has is "delish" and it's awful.

Nom nom, yummy, scrummy in my tummy.... Grin

On the other hand, "boils my piss!" is just gross and nonsensical! I know what people mean when they use it, but why? Where did it even come from? Confused

dooratheexplorer · 30/09/2020 10:12

Nadiya Hussain says it a lot.

I have to change channels....

Frauhubert · 30/09/2020 10:27

I have this really annoying woman friend of a friend popping up on my insta feed. I unfollowed her yet i still get the mega crigne YUMMY posts with a photo of her musli bowl, or a fruit and nutty butter ‘goodness’ with a neon sign YUMMY every single day🤮
She’s in her late 30’s

KarmaStar · 30/09/2020 11:08

I heard a neighbour say "my yummy hubby" 😫

unchienandalusia · 30/09/2020 11:37
