I was talking with a friend today, and he used a word that sounds like "yaky", where the "a" is pronounced the same way as the "a" in "father". Judging from the context, I think it describes something that he doesn't like. I tried to look for the word but could not find it. Could someone tell me what the word might be? Thanks!
Additional context:
It does not involve food. We were talking about math, and he describes the kind of analysis (a field of math) that he doesn't like as "yaky analysis".
Best Answer
My best guess is yucky.
I asked about food because it is often used with food, like that cake was yucky! However, it's not strictly used with food, as in the entry above.
He might have been trying to be funny, as yucky is commonly used with and by children.
