Words I hate

Not only do I hate the word "mouthfeel," but the concept is utterly repellant also.  It's less-than-amazing to hear people wax erotic about wine and foodstuffs; letting me know how it feels on your tongue is just superfluous.  And gross.  Really, really gross.

Actually, most terminology related to food tasting borders on the obscene.  People should not be using words like "fleshy" and "supple" and "prickle(?)" to describe anything let alone beverages.  Can we just use simple booleans to size up our grape-based potables?

  • Drinkable
  • Non-drinkable

That should be more than sufficient.  Let's leave your tongue out of it.
