\"yummy.jpg\"<\/a>Forgive this blatant rant but this word has been bothering me for a few years since it became trendy again. I don’t know why and I can’t explain it. I can’t stand to read it or have it go through my head for any reason. I can’t tolerate typing it and God forbid I’m ever forced to say it. It’s appearing more and more frequently and I can’t escape it. Arrrrggggg!!!<\/p>\n

It’s a slack, uncreative replacement for “delicious”.\u00a0 I wish the resurgence of this word propagated by soccer moms would go back to the late 50’s where it came from. What’s next?\u00a0 Should I be on the look out for “swell”. And then there’s the whole Yummy Mummy thing. What, MILF was too disturbing for the PC crowd so they found something kid safe to describe hot moms? You know who you are.<\/p>\n

It’s bad enough when soccer moms invoke the word “yummy” in any context but\u00a0 professionals reviewing recipes should avoid it like the kiss of death. Any adult male who dares use the word deserves to be castrated for the greater good. It’s just not allowed. I’m warning ya, don’t do it or I’ll buy you a pink tutu and a tricycle and force you to ride it down I-540 at 4:30 on a Thursday afternoon. You will also be required to wear a sign everywhere for three months that says “Yummy Twinkle Boy”.<\/p>\n

There you have it, my least favorite word to resurrect itself from the days of Ozzie and Harriet. Isn’t that swell?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
