Poll: What do you think of the word "creamy"?

[Korolev]

As David Mitchell once said: "Creamy - that's a heritage word. That sounds like a good thing. Sounds like how things USED to be in the good old days! I bet if we polled people and asked them whether or not Britain had gotten more or less creamy over the past 50 years, they'd say less! And they'd be sorry about it! Everything in the past was creamy wasn't it?!"

Like David Mitchell, the word Creamy reminds me of Ice-cream soda, tea biscuits, family restaurants, cake fillings and old people without dentures gobbling down creamy sponge cake. Whenever I hear the word creamy, I get this mental picture of an old man without teeth, with a slice of cake in his mouth trying to enthusiastically tell me how good the cake is, with crumbs flying out of his mouth as he proclaims "HmmmuuuummmmmmitmmmMMMmmmmgood!"

And it scares the hell out of me.

So no. I don't like the word creamy.

David Mitchell's soapbox is pretty good. ^_^

I imagine banana cream pie when I hear that word. Man I want some now.

Lately the song "Whipped Cream" by Ludo comes to mind when I think of creamy.

Whenever I think of "creamy", I always think of the frosting on cinnamon buns. I guess that makes me the weird one in this thread.

With no context, probably taste.

But I possibly use it more often as a texture description.

 

[OptimisticPessimist]

Porn. Lord, I spend too much time on the internet.

 

[Wintermoot]

all three at once

 

[SckizoBoy]

First thing I thought of was crema di mascarpone... mmmmmm...

 

[standokan]

The first thing I thought of was pr0n-related so I'll go for the first sing outside of the gutter, which would be milkshakes.

I think delicious, and then about applying the word to breasts, thighs, navels, and hips, and I apply "astoundingly enticing and delicious". And if there's ice cream involved there too? All the better.

Creamy is one of those words like "moist" to me, in that it disturbs me to my core
