Not Sexy...Not Sexy At All

You know what irritates me? When people use the word 'sexy' to describe things that aren't sexy. For instance, have you seen any cooking shows lately? They're all about how 'sexy' their food. Ooo la la...look at this chicken breast I made - it is so sexy! Listen to me - saying that something is sexy would imply that you want me to think about having sex or that sex would someway be involved with whatever you're describing. I don't think about having sex with my food. Laying down and rubbing a pot roast all over my body isn't what I'm going for, here. Oh, I know..you make love to it with your mouth. Again, really? You 'make love to it' with your mouth? What kind of babies is that going to make?

"Oh, babe, this Chicken Marsala is so damn sexy. Oooh...oh....I am getting so hot and worked up over here. I just want to caress it with my tongue and lovingly nibble at it's bits. Prrrrrr....oh, yeah....I'm going to make love to this chicken with my mouth...oh, yeah baby.....mmmmmm."

I think I need a shower.

It extends beyond food - people describing their new business ideas as sexy. Or the way they want to redecorate the living room. How is this sexy? Maybe your business idea revs you up and gets you going but really, it just makes me say "Good for you". You moving the couch to the other side of the room and changing the wall color doesn't make me start hearing Barry White and shedding my clothes.

These things are not sexy, people. They are not. Find a different word.

Ha! Holy crap, so true. I just said this the other day when I was watching the Food Network (which I do too much).

I love your streams of consciousness but I have to admit, I often describe non-sexy things as sexy. In my defense, I usually do it to get a laugh so I guess I only fall partially into that category. ;) Happy Easter.

Hahaha Oh man, my dad went through a phase there for a while where he used the word sexy- it drove me nuts! I was car shopping, and he kept saying "Oh, I know you want a sexy car". It was just--- ugh.... hhahaha too funny though, I haven't thought about that in a while!

Ew. I suddenly had a mental movie of Tyler Florence tenderizing some chicken cutlets and talking about how sexy they are.

My recent word has been delicious... like a delicious massage. I've never gotten the use of the word sexy for everything.

The sexiest thing in my house? The Vacuum!

Why?

Because nothing is hotter then seeing my fiance push all the right buttons on it to turn it on and then stroke it back and forth along the carpets of the entire house.

Clean Carpet, extra sexy!

I loathe the use of the word sexy for non-sexy things. I worked for a software company and the boss kept saying he wanted things to "pop" and to make it look "sexy." And then I wanted to "punch" him.
