Word of the Week: Delicious

The word of the week is delicious. Delicious is an exceptional word because it can be said in different volumes and accents to mean completely different things. If the word is shouted and followed by the word “victory,” it makes for an excellent exclamation after achieving victory in Mario Kart. If the word is whispered in a really bad English or French accent, it can be a great describing word for a woman or any of her body parts.

Traditionally, delicious has been used to describe food, and this is where it really shows its flexibility as a word. For example, a person could say “this cake is–delicious,” to offer both a compliment to the chef, and an entertaining piece of dialogue.
