When To Use

does yuchy mean?

Yuchy is a much less common spelling of yucky, which is a very informal adjective meaning gross, disgusting, or unappetizing.It’s based on yuck (less commonly spelled yuch), which is an informal word you say when you think something is gross or disgusting. Yuck is an interjection, which is a term used to express an emotion or indicate how you feel about something, typically outside of a sentence.Yuchy is primarily used to describe foods that you think are particularly disgusting or unappetizing. It can be used upon actually tasting something or simply upon looking at it, smelling, or maybe even feeling it—you could describe a food as yuchy if it feels slimy, for example.Yuchy is also sometimes used to describe other things considered disgusting, such as something filthy or unpleasant weather, as in The humidity is making it really yuchy outside. It can also mean just plain bad, as in My day was yuchy. Yuchy is associated with its use by children and is often thought of as a childish word. (While yuck is often used by children, especially those refusing to eat their vegetables, it’s commonly used in many ways that don’t sound childish.)The word yummy can be thought of as the opposite of yuchy, especially in response to food. It’s based on yum, an interjection used to indicate that you think something is delicious or looks appetizing (yum is often thought of as the opposite of yuck). Like yuchy, yummy can also be used in contexts other than food, such as to express that something is appealing.Example: I’d rather eat my own socks than have even one bite of that yuchy broccoli.
