In Bad Taste

Tasty. As an adjective, what gets me most is it's lack of ambition: Tasty? It is a wholesale failure. Adjectives are there to enlighten and illuminate our nouns, to give them character, shape and power. Tasty does none of these, try describing a food using it: What did it taste like? Err... tasty? What, it tasted of taste? It's sunglasses for the blind. All culinary efforts are scorned by it, damned by the faint of its praise. Imagine if we did that with our other sensual descriptions: What did she look like? Oh, looky! Yeh she was pretty looky alright. How did it feel when your wife left you? Well, kinda feely, ya know, I felt a lot of feeliness. So please, it's vague, it's lazy, it's badenglishy.
