I suppose it is because no one wants to be called a cheesy poet. ![]() |

I wonder why cheesy means something negative. I like cheese. I think it deserves to be discussed in a positive way in poetry. Don't you? I only posted this quote because it made me laugh. I didn't analyze it until now. Hmmmmm. |

I love cheese too and your photo for your quote is perfect. I wondered why too Nap so I looked it up. chees·y ˈCHēzē/Submit adjective 1. like cheese in taste, smell, or consistency. "a pungent, cheesy sauce" 2. informal cheap, unpleasant, or blatantly inauthentic. "a big cheesy grin" synonyms: tacky, cheap, tawdry; More NATIONAL GARDENING ASSOCIATION Purslane & Portulaca ~ Garden Art |

I enjoy many mild cheeses, but have never developed a taste for the more pungent varieties. It is odd that the great poets sing the praises of wine, which is a fermented product, but do not pair it with fermented cheeses. Perhaps it is because the wine can make one drunk, tipsy, and lose ones inhibitions, while cheese fills the stomach and sates ones hunger without affecting ones libido. |

Good point and I don't care for the pungent cheeses either. NATIONAL GARDENING ASSOCIATION Purslane & Portulaca ~ Garden Art |

I have a friend who LOVES Limburger cheese. I've never smelled it, but I know it has a reputation for being extremely unpleasant. She says you have to get past the smell, hold your nose or something and then you will enjoy the wonderful taste. I think I'll probably never take her up on that. But thanks for the definition, Vic. Do you think this - ![]() ![]() Here's Google images of "cheesy grin." Still very unclear to me. https://www.google.com/search?q=cheesy grin gif&newwindow=1&... |

To me a cheesy grin is one that has full teeth clenched and looks forced. ![]() ![]() |

I agree with Zany but I do use the green smile often for happy or giggly. Is that a word? ![]() NATIONAL GARDENING ASSOCIATION Purslane & Portulaca ~ Garden Art |

By the way, Vic, thanks for complimenting my photo! I set that plate up specifically for this quote. And when I was satisfied with the photo, the boys and I enjoyed devouring the snacks. |
