Hmmm, I must say that the word "Foodie" has never really irked me. I find it kind of cute and quirky!

But the word "brain fart", now THAT is a word that makes me cringe... HA.

LuciLu my thoughts exactly.

Im chill with it.

Yeah, it doesn't bug me

I really like it, but I'm wary to use it...especially to describe myself. I've always thought that it had to be applied to a specific type of food lover -- like you have to be constantly striving to find the better, the best, the most exotic. I will try anything (and love new and exciting meals, meals that make me nostalgic for tastes months later), but I would also be content with sushi and french fries for the rest of my days. So I'm not sure I count. And there, is some unnecessary rambling.

i must admit it does bug me as it's been used around me mainly as a negative to describe someone obsessed with food or who overeats. that and it sounds too much like 'fattie' which is a word i truly dispise.

I'm apathetic to it. I wouldn't call myself a foodie even though it may fit me. A bit too trendy for me I guess.

I have mixed feelings about this word. I totally don't consider myself one because I never went to culinary school and don't look at food in a snobby way, but I guess in terms of being knowledgeable about food and being able to cook a variety of dishes well one could call me a foodie.

I agree with LuciLu - I think it's cute. But then again, I don't know too much about it and rarely use it.

I must say it irks me - I just don't like to be called one.

It doesn't bother me.

I guess its about as irritating as "veggies".

I think it's cute!

i think its cute!

It is better than fattie or foodaholic or cunning linguinist (a crafty pasta maker).

I don't think it is so bad.
