Not sure why, but I think it is because it sounds like sexual innuendo to me, so if people say it around me in public, I feel a little uncomfortable. I don't mind you saying it here on the Ledge - but I am just trying to start a conversation about this.
Is it just me or is that use of "yum" giving the word sexual connotations?
