Another Word That Makes Me Cringe

Like I have said a couple of times before, with lockdown restrictions easing we/I really need to get out more. I am getting soooooo grumpy, especially when I hear the latest “in vogue” word being used on the radio/TV over and over again, it makes me inwardly cringe whenever I hear them.

The latest said word is “yielding” …….. aghhhhhhh.

It completely ruined my quiet enjoyment of Masterchef the other evening when columnist, broadcaster, author and restaurant critic Grace Dent (who I am not the greatest fan of or her occasional Radio 4 programmes, which I will admit to turning off whenever I hear her voice) proclaimed that the roasted bone marrow she had just chowed on down was “yielding”.  What?

And then, a couple more courses down the road uttered it again to describe some other delicacy, ……… yielding, yielding? Please, just stop it!!!!!!!!

    For me, yield is to do with chemical percentage yield. Just ask TTS.

So if your comment doesn't come up straight away it means that our lady "that does" is going through them with a fine toothcomb, so that the spammers don't get through .....This is such a robust pain in the bottom and as such we have boycotted all SPAM comestibles in protest ..... sandwiches, fritters, fricasse etc.!!!!!!
