I try to keep up with things the kids are dong and saying. I didn’t think I was the only one.
The other day my husband was poo-pooing something I had done and I replied with an expression I thought was part of the general lexicon, “Don’t yuck my yum!”
He had never heard this admonishment so I explained that it means “Don’t ruin my enjoyment of something by criticizing it.”
Him attempting to repeat it back to me resulted in the following:
Don’t yuck my muck.
Don’t yum my yuck.
Don’t muck my yum.
And so on.
I asked him what planet he was living on, why he didn’t know this phrase. At dinner with a dear friend a few nights later I told her about Mister Rain yucking my yum. She was not familiar with the expression either; she too struggled a bit with the correct way to say it.
At a time in my life when I could be needing it replaced, I am feeling pretty hip.
