Don't Yuck my Yum

I mentioned to my niece that I'd ordered a beast's tongue which she thought utterly revolting and said so in no uncertain terms.
I suppose I could have said 'don't yuk my yum' if I'd heard of it but what I did say was 'to each his own'.
Think I shall stick with that.

Yuk my yum is a revolting turn of phrase. We used, in the best "Hitchhiker's Guide..." to people who annoyed us, and taught our offspring the same, to say "Go stick your head in a pig/Share and enjoy"!
I don't like a lot of these sayings, they are silly and often very ambiguous, which is what they are supposed to be. Don't like people being unkind/rude! I try not to be either if I can help it.

I use 'don't rain on my parade' or 'don't burst my balloon'. Yuk on my yum sounds a bit dirty but tempted to try it out on OH and DGs

I don't like the saying but it makes a good point. People often make very nasty comments when people talk about TV programmes they watch. I think everyone watches or reads a certain amount of rubbish and they should be able to talk about it. Life can't all be serious and heavy.

I was offering a repeatable version of "Don't p*ss on my parade "
Fortunately I have never experienced your "beetroot incident".
I might be pickier about my lunching/dining companions in future.

What a brilliant phrase! Just 4 words vividly painting a whole picture,very pithy. If I wasn't such an old windbag, I'd use it myself

I think "don't rain on my parade" is slightly different in meaning isn't it? If , say, you were enjoying eating beetroot, and another person( this has happened to me) started making gagging noises just because beetroot was on the table, I wouldn't say " don't rain on my parade", but I could say " don't yuk my yum". ( I didn't cos I didn't know it then I said something ruder). Maybe I'll start using it now and be a sad down with the kids old fart. But, hey, don't yuk my yum.

It made me laugh , I might use it facetiously now ! But yes, it's like something Bart Simpson might say . Other trash talk that I don't like is ' my bad' and 'what goes around comes around '- I like old fashioned language like ' ocht well' and 'away and boil yer head' !

I wouldn't jingl, your GSs will probably run for the hills. What a gross expression .

I think the accepted - and sanitised version - is "Don't rain on my parade".

As a follower of the Good Wife suzied I shall listen for it being said, unless I have already missed it.

It's hardly offensive and I wouldn't get my knickers in a twist over it, it's quite descriptive in a way , perhaps I will try it out on my GD too jingle , I prefer Indiana's terms but I could hardly use them in front of a 10 year old. .

Nice to see you again Envious!

Tee hee jingl!

Ooh. I'm going to remember this one. Seeing GSs tomorrow. Will definitely try to use it to them. Could harvest a good bit of street cred with this.

Thanks Susie.

Apart from the intrinsic awfulness of the phrase, there is little more pathetic than an older person trying to get "down and dirty" (whatever that means!) with the kids and their slang.
Don't we all remember "Fab" and "Groovy"? Or Norman Vaughn's downwards pointing thumb and "Dodgy!" Our parents would have looked complete prats if they had started talking like that.
It is virtually impossible to keep up with "the kids" even if you wanted to and to ape their "street talk" lays you open to ridicule.
Remember LOL? Own up, how many of us used it for Lots Of Love, to their sniggers and giggles?
So thank you, suzied as you say, we heard it here first, now please God may I never hear it again!!

And another one - "don't burst my balloon"

Oh yes, I've heard that one too nina

We say 'don't piss on my bonfire'

I think I prefer "don't take the wind out of my sails", or even "don't piss on my parade", despite the fact that it uses a naughty word . At least they both sound a bit more grown up than yuck my yum. God, talk about dumbing down.

Yes, just googled it ffinocchio and you're right

Reminds me of when DS was a toddler. If he tried a new food and liked it he would declare it to be Yum! If he didn't like it he would whisper Yuck because it made him giggle when I warned, 'Don't you dare say that!'

DH would then wind me up by asking him, 'So how did that figure on the Yuck or Yumometer?

Don't be rude about something I really like. I can understand that.

Sounds right ffin!!

"Don't yuck my yum, yo " means ... "don't be being rude about my food!"

Street slang.......as I understand it.

Am being thick as don't get correlation between yuck, yum, mouth and posterior???
