I use the word foodie more often than I would like to admit. As you probably know, the word means anyone who's really into food and for some reason, it sounds horrible to me - embarrassingly horrible. I actually really, really hate it, but I won't stop people from using it - or calling me it either - it just sort of makes me cringe inside. So now I want to know, what do you think of the word foodie?

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.
1LuciLu my thoughts exactly.
2Im chill with it.
3Yeah, it doesn't bug me
4I 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.
5i 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.
6I'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.
7I 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.
8I agree with LuciLu - I think it's cute. But then again, I don't know too much about it and rarely use it.
9I must say it irks me - I just don't like to be called one.
10It doesn't bother me.
11I guess its about as irritating as "veggies".

I think it's cute!
14i think its cute!
15It is better than fattie or foodaholic or cunning linguinist (a crafty pasta maker).
I don't think it is so bad.
