| 1. | hummusy | ||
|
Adjective describing a less than sincere and slightly pained but polite expression of liking or enjoying something. Origination:
Chick serving food on a first date to a dude she digs: "I hope you like hummus." Dude who hates hummus but likes chick: "Sure, hummus is fine." Dude's response was hummusy (insincere, slightly pained, but polite). Usage example: Adoring mother: "I hope you like the phone-book cozy I knitted for you." Adoring mother's mortified kid: "Yea, it's nice." Adoring mother: "I'm sensing a hummusy tone. If you don't like it, just say so (you ungrateful prick)." |
