Lucky we weren't asked about coffee - the reaction would have borked the internet.

Don't know if you are still reading this Russell but ...
I have enjoyed the creativity coming through in this thread and wondered about other threads around words . I read this lovely quote from a 4 yr old, Billy
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."Got me to thinking about thinking of words that feel good in your mouth, word like Blancmange or Plop . Euphonious words ( actually euphonious feels quite nice) .
-
"The Munchies" or "Getting The Munchies" if no one's suggested one or the other so far (I haven't looked at the previous nine pages, sorry).

<tangent>
As far as I’m aware we don’t have a word for things that feel nice to touch. Why is that? “Tactile” is the closest I know, but that doesn’t really convey the feeling of something feeling nice. :-) -

Singularity of blended?
-
Swift check of the thesaurae didnt bring anything to light either Lilith...so we have to go to tactile analogies - 'as smooth, soft & warm as silk velvet'...interesting question. Will pursue it further-
Kai Home (kai can mean food, to eat, consume,arrive at - as well as much else. 'home' (a nice false friend) is a variety of kumara...)
-
I thought that 'plush' had a meaning not dissimilar to what you are after, Lilith.
Mind you, it is only 1 type of 'feels nice to touch'; 'lubricious' makes me think of another.
-
All the words I can think of that we use to describe something that’s nice to touch work by analogy, like Islander says: silky, velvety, satiny…or plush. And we can say that something is soft or smooth or warm or cool or whatever but that describes what its properties are, not that we find it pleasant.
We have so many words for things that taste nice (tasty, yummy, delicious, delectable, etc.) or look nice (beautiful, pretty, gorgeous, etc), some for things that sound nice (euphonious, musical*, dulcet) and smell nice (fragrant, aromatic, scented). But no equivalent words for the sense of touch, AFAIK.
* musical, like melodious, is perhaps a kind of analogy too, now that I think about it. But it’s a lot less specific than silky.

A little warning to be careful with names.

Jeebus! All 3 meanings I know...should not be associated with food!

Islander, in reply to
Good great godlessness Ian! PUBLISH THAT!
Call it "Skinship" - it is great- -
I know from my nurse sisters that 2 senses remain until you are dead – hearing, and touch.
Much crap has been hurled at so-called touch-therapy, and some of it is deserved
BUT – in family experience, just a late-coming person to a deathbed can call/sing/speak a name, and then hold a hand, and a comatose person will enliven enough to smile, grasp, sigh- respond enough to say, I am here, I recognise you- -

a nice touch…
