14 DELICIOUS WORDS FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES THEIR FOOD …
From mentalfloss.com
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
- Junket. Nowadays, the word junket tends only to be used to refer to political or press junkets—trips for politicians or journalists, at another’s expense, for promotional purposes.
- Bouffage. Another word for a grand feast is bouffage, a term from the 17th century derived from an older French word for “any meat that (eaten greedily) fills the mouth and makes the cheeks to swell,” according to 17th century lexicographer Randle Cotgrave.
- Gut-Gullie. Gut has been used to mean the stomach (or, originally, the abdomen and its contents) since the Old English period, and is the root of a host of gluttonous words like gut-foundered, which means hungry to the point of near starvation; gut-head, a 17th century word for someone who appears dull and slow witted from overeating; and gut-gullie, an old Scots dialect verb meaning to overeat or eat greedily.
- Smell-Feast. Noah Webster gave two definitions for a smell-feast. One was “a feast at which the guests are supposed to feed upon the odors only of the viands,” but the word’s original meaning, dating back to the early 16th century, is “one who is apt to find and frequent good tables”—in other words, a scrounger or moocher who steals your food or expects you to feed them.
- Groak. … or growk, which means to stare at someone intently and expectantly, hoping that they give you some of their food.
- Linnard. The linnard is the last member of a group to finish their meal. An 18th-century dialect word from the southwest of England, traditionally the linnard would have their tardiness punished by being made to clean up afterwards.
- Forenoons. The forenoon is the portion of the day between waking up in the morning and midday, which makes a forenoons a brunch or a light snack taken between breakfast and lunch.
- Rassasy. Dating back to the 15th century (and derived from the same root as words like satiate and satisfy), to rassasy someone is to satisfy them with a great meal, or else to satiate someone’s hunger with food.
- Speustic. The adjective speustic first appeared in a 17th century dictionary called Glossographia (1656) by the English lexicographer Thomas Blount. Sadly it doesn’t seem to have caught on—the Oxford English Dictionary has unearthed no other record of the word in print since, but that’s not to say that it isn’t worth remembering: It very usefully describes any meal or plate of food that’s cooked or thrown together in haste.

1. What’s Shakin’, Bacon?
“What’s shakin’, bacon?” is a similar phrase to “what’s cookin’, good lookin.” That’s what makes it so useful as a response.
You can match the original pick-up line with similar phrases to reply in the most appropriate way. You’ll get a good reaction from the person who sent the pick-up line originally.
If you want to impress the original asker, this is one of the best phrases. It shows that you appreciate their sense of humour and are willing to match it in your unique way.
- What’s cookin’, good lookin’?
- What’s shakin’, bacon? It’s nice to see that my lines haven’t completely died yet!
2. Don’t Embarrass Yourself Like That Again
“Don’t embarrass yourself like that again” is a funny response showing that you don’t appreciate the pick-up line “what’s cookin’, good lookin’.” It shows that someone has “embarrassed” themselves, but you’re willing to give them another try with a different line.
The key word is “again.” Using “again” here shows that you want the person to try a different line. Hopefully, the next one they pick is less embarrassing and is better suited to your sense of humour.
- What’s cookin’, good lookin’?
- Don’t embarrass yourself like that again. You do know that’s not a good line to use, right?
3. That’s a Secret
“That’s a secret” keeps things interesting for the asker, as it shows you’re not willing to share anything with them yet. It encourages them to explore a conversation with you to learn more about what you have to say.
This is great to show that you have a few secrets about yourself. Creating a mysterious aura like this encourages people to get more personal and see what they’re able to get out of you.
- What’s cooking, good looking?
- That’s a secret. I’m sure you’ll figure it out if you keep talking to me like that.
4. Wouldn’t You Like to Know
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” is a fun response used to test the other person for using the pick-up line. It shows you’re not willing to share much at the moment, but they might be able to crack the surface with some effort.
This phrase is great for a response to a flirty situation. It shows that you have a few things to talk about, but you will only talk about them when you’re ready to let the other party “know.”
- What’s cookin’, good lookin’?
- Wouldn’t you like to know? I’m sorry, honey. This kitchen doesn’t open to strangers online.
5. I’m Not in the Kitchen
“I’m not in the kitchen” is a direct play into the “what’s cookin’” portion of the idiom, showing you’re not “cookin’” anything. This generally shuts down the pick-up line and shows you’re not interested in someone.
If you’re unwilling to pursue the conversation further, this phrase is your best bet. It shows that the other person has exhausted their chances of getting to know you better.
- What’s cooking, good looking?
- I’m not in the kitchen, so I couldn’t tell you!
6. I’ll Have to Check the Oven
“I’ll have to check the oven” is a funny response that plays into the “cookin’” part of the idiom. It shows that you don’t know “what’s cookin’,” but you want to joke about something being in the oven.
It’s up to you to determine what the metaphor “check the oven” implies here. It’s your flirty text message, after all. You should use it to try and continue the conversation in a positive direction.
- What’s cookin’, good lookin’?
- I’ll have to check the oven and get back to you on that. I might keep you waiting for the sake of it.
7. Are You Looking in a Mirror?
“Are you looking in a mirror?” turns the compliment around on the asker and shows that you think they are “good lookin’.” It’s great to use this as it implies that they have a “mirror” and are talking about their own reflection.
This is a good choice if you’re not willing to commit to proper flirtatious comments. It isn’t outright flirty or over-the-top. It works well when you’re just getting to know someone.
- What’s cooking, good looking?
- Are you looking in the mirror? You’re clearly the “good-looking” one around here.
8. I Didn’t Put Anything On
“I didn’t put anything on” is another good alternative referencing the “cookin’” part of the idiom. It shows that you didn’t “put anything on,” relating to not putting any food on to “cook.”
This suggests that you’re playing into the metaphor without being too obvious. It’s a great way to build a rapport with the other person and see what comebacks they might have to play around with.
- What’s cookin’, good lookin’?
- I didn’t put anything on. Why? Can you smell something? Does it smell like burning?
9. That’s up to You
“That’s up to you” is a great reply showing that you want to leave it up to the other person to decide “what’s cookin’.” This shows that you’re free and open to meeting new people and ready to explore new things together.
“That’s up to you” is a great phrase showing that you’re intrigued by the other party. It shows you want them to have some agency in coming up with what happens or what they say next.
- What’s cookin’, good lookin’?
- That’s up to you. I’m easygoing. I’ll let you decide what can be cookin’ in this kitchen.
10. Whatever You Want, Baby
“Whatever you want, baby” is a very suggestive phrase to use as a reply. You can use this seductive response to encourage someone to up their flirting game.
It shows that you’re interested in continuing the conversation, especially if you like the person. This might encourage things to get a little steamier between the two of you. If you’re not comfortable with that, you definitely shouldn’t reply with something like this.
- What’s cookin’, good lookin’?
- Whatever you want, baby. This is your time to show me what you can do. Impress me.
11. I Was Thinking of Putting a Bun in the Oven
“I was thinking of putting a bun in the oven” is a flirtatious response showing that you’re looking for a sexual encounter with someone. “Bun in the oven” is an idiom meaning you want a baby, though that isn’t always literal when used in this case.
As a reply, this shows that you’re interested in something more with the person asking you the question. You might find people respond with phrases like this on Tinder to test the authenticity or commitment of the person who asked, “what’s cooking, good looking?”
- What’s cooking, good looking?
- I was thinking of putting a bun in the oven. I don’t suppose you have some thoughts about that.
12. I Think I Just Vomited From That Line
“I think I just vomited from that line” is a funny response you can use if you don’t like the pick-up line. Pick-up lines like “what’s cookin’, good lookin’” aren’t for everyone.
If you don’t like the line, you should use this phrase. It shows that you had a physical and violently negative reaction to them using it. It often implies that the asker has ruined their chance with you as you do not have compatible senses of humour.
- What’s cooking, good looking?
- I think I just vomited from that line. What is this, the 1990s? Get a new line.
13. Don’t Touch Me; You Might Burn Yourself
“Don’t touch me; you might burn yourself” is a funny and flirty response you can use. It relates to you feeling confident and “hot” in yourself, which plays into the “good lookin’” portion of the idiom.
You might say “don’t touch me” to relate to the “cooking” portion of the idiom. It implies that you are “what’s cooking,” meaning you are the hottest thing in the room right now.
- What’s cookin’, good lookin’?
- Don’t touch me; you might burn yourself. I’m far too hot for someone like you to handle.
14. That’s Not a Good Pick-Up Line, Honey
“That’s not a good pick-up line, honey” is a direct shutdown and comeback to “what’s cookin’, good lookin’.” It shows that you don’t like the line, and it will not work well for you.
You should use this phrase when you don’t like the person texting you or don’t appreciate the idiom. “Honey” emphasises the judgmental tone you’re trying to convey.
- What’s cookin’, good lookin’?
- That’s not a good pick-up line, honey. You have one last chance! I’ll let you try a different one, though.
15. Like I’d Tell You!
“Like I’d tell you!” is a coy and flirty response you can use. It shows that you’re not willing to share personal information with someone, even if you only mean the phrase as a joke.
This encourages the asker to try a little harder to get to know you. They might need to talk through things more before they are able to hear what you have to “tell them.”
- What’s cooking, good looking?
- Like I’d tell you! I keep things like that private until the very last moment. You’ll see.
When someone says “what’s cookin’, good lookin’,” they’re trying to flirt with you by referencing your good looks.
“What’s cookin’” is synonymous with “what’s up” or “how are you?” You should use it when you want to ask someone how they’re doing or what’s new in their life.
“Good lookin’” is added as a rhyme with “cookin’.” It suggests that you find someone attractive, making it an excellent choice for a tinder opener.

‘What’s Cookin’ Good Lookin’ means roughly ‘I’d like to spend time with you’ and depending on the speaker’s character, might well mean ‘I’d like to take you to bed, preferably right now’ but let’s please remember, the only part that matters is “…Good Lookin’”. The “What’s cookin’” bit is merely clever padding… assuming you think it is clever.
The expression was popularized by this song: https://youtu.be/bjCoKslQOEs
It’s similar to, «What’s up, beautiful?» but means he is interested in her romantically.

What’s cooking is a common way to inquire, “What is happening” or “What are you doing.” The phrase “good looking” either refers to a person or conveys a desire for them. It can be used as a “pick-up line” at bars, as a complement to your wife at home, or even at the office.
“What’s cooking good” is a popular slang phrase that started in 2005 and rose to the top of the Urban Dictionary’s most-used phrases in 2006. It’s widely used on blogs and social media sites and as the title of many cooking books and gifts. While its literal meaning may be unclear, it is certainly a good-looking phrase. What’s cooking – is generally used to ask ‘What is going on, or ‘What are you doing? Good Looking – is a compliment to a person or expresses a desire for something. You can hear it as a ‘pick-up line’ in bars. You can use it at home to offer a compliment to your wife or even use it at work. It is a familiar, slightly funny way of saying, « What are you doing? » while complimenting someone’s appearance.
Pulchritudinous
In a recent article, The Guardian called Scotch eggs “pulchritudinous” and noted that they had been around since 1738. Even more interesting is that they have become such a staple of Scottish cuisine that it has been made illegal in some countries. While that might seem ridiculous, Scotch eggs have indeed become more popular than ever.
Is She a Good Cook?
If you are looking for a woman, you may wonder, “Is she a good cook looking?” Men love women who are good cooks, and women who know how to create delicious meals are also appealing to men. Cooking is a selfless act, and men appreciate the effort that goes into it.
Is She in the Mirror?
The Roman poet Ovid wrote one of the most enduring myths about love over 2,000 years ago. The story tells of Narcissus, who fell in love with the goddess Echo but eventually faded into the background. Echo prayed to the goddess Nemesis to kill Narcissus, which Nemesis granted, but not before he saw his reflection in a mirror.
“Is she in the mirror?” has a curious premise. Despite its title, the story is set in a domestic environment. The mirror appears in a pink room with speckles, which suggests a bathroom or bedroom. The woman in the mirror returns to it every day, presumably as a part of her daily routine.
It is hard to determine if the woman in the mirror is the woman she wants to see since a mirror can only reflect what is visible to the naked eye. As a result, the mirror cannot give a complete and accurate picture of a woman’s inner self. The poem, therefore, is a metaphor for the quest for self-understanding.
Sylvia Plath wrote the “mirror” poem in 1961. It explores her fears about aging and dying. Plath’s poem was first published in 1963 in a collection called Crossing the Water. The collection was published several years after her death.
While the song is about love, it also highlights a broader societal issue. Back then, women were still viewed as property by their men. In this context, it was rare for women to go to college. The song describes the plight of women in this period. As a result, many women were in limbo, sitting by the jukebox against the wall like the rest.
This is a somewhat antiquated expression usually said by a male to a female, usually a husband coming home from work and entering the kitchen where his wife would be preparing dinner. Kissing her on the cheek, expressing his fondness for her, and saying, “hey, good lookin’ whatcha got cookin’.
In today’s world, I can only assume it would be considered sexist because being a woman doesn’t automatically constitute that the preparer of food would be a female. So even though it was never meant to come across that way, it could be construed or misconstrued.
