Say What You See

A while back I mentioned how tasty is a word pretty low in the imagination stakes. Then I realised it wasn't alone. By a long shot. Whoever was composing the dictionary had a pretty off day when it came to the senses. See, you can smell nice, that's no problem, that's why we've got perfumed, scented and odoriferous. But if you smell of smell? Well, you're just smelly. Likewise if you look bad, you've got options, ugly, grotesque, estate agent. But if you look good? You're a looker. But then of course, a looker can also be a bit tasty. Although don't call a woman tasty because she might get a bit touchy. Still, rather a touchy woman than a man who gets too touchy. That's just poor taste.
