"Delish." This is not a word. The word is "delicious." "Delish" makes people sound stupid and lazy - is "delicious" too onerous to say?
The last thing we need is another buzz word or sound bite. Why shorten it?
And why does this particular shortcut word annoy me so much? Maybe it is because the sound is ugly, and unpleasing to the ear. Maybe it is because it replaced a lovely word. "Delicious" just rolls so nicely off the tongue. It feels good, and sounds good, and means good things. On the other hand "delish" sounds tough and mean and I'm not sure I'd want to put something described as "delish" in my mouth.
Yeah. I totally didn't get enough sleep last night, can you tell?
