Can we all agree not to use "delicious" as a non-food related adjective?

You don't have a "delicious secret."
Your day on the couch watching TV wasn't "amazingly delicious."
Your new baby isn't "delicious."
Your new designer dress isn't "so deliciously soft."
It makes me vomit. Thank you and have a nice day (not a delicious day).

Ditto for "yummy."

x1000! I was going to suggest adding yummy to this list, but you beat me to it.

Would you rather have a daily 3 pm project without wanton thoughts, or with wanton thoughts?

We aren't the ones in a tiff over the definition of delicious, darling.

I'm quite impressed that someone snarkily called me "darling" because I voiced my dislike for a word.
I'm not in tiff...you are.

OP, I will join you in your fight against "delicious" if you will join me in my fight against "gorgeous".

Gorgeous can be used to describe physical appearance. A view can be gorgeous, a person, a car, a building, a painting, I really don't give a f*ck. But if you say you "read the most gorgeous book" or you "attended a gorgeous musical performance" it's just so pretentious.

This thread is delicious. So are my hips post-yoga. And so is my baby!

I'm about to have a delicious night of binge watching GOT and John Snow's deliciousness.

Can we all agree to use delicious as much as possible for non food items? I never used the word much prior to reading this thread, but now I feel compelled to use it as much as possible. The thought of upsetting the OP is just so delicious.

Babies will always, always be delicious.

Also, karma.

I always say "oh, so delicious" when talking to a coworker about a patient's extreme diarrhea, vomiting, secretions, wound care, slimy skin folds... You get the picture. Lol

And I'll probably just use it even more often now. Thinking of you, op!

I've never heard a meeting or something else work-related called "sexy."

I do use the word "delicious" in matters of food or sex, but not to describe TV or the weather.

+1. I think there's been some research on how they trigger the reward center part of the brain that activates when eating delicious food. I want to eat my babies so much, they are seriously delicious.
