Foodie is defunct?

If it is, I'm not aware. In fact, someone just called me a foodie last night.

Perhaps a Foodie is over 18 years of age and a Koodie (short for Kid Foodie) is under 18?

The definition cleary says its kid.

I hope you slapped them. I really cannot stand that term.

Oh that's not so bad, Dave, better than being called...what was that new slang term...cootie?

Well, if someone is determined to put you into a convenient box... (like wine guru or cellar rat ) the alternatives of "Gourmet", "Gourmand" or "Glutton" are almost worse, with the first being horribly pretensious and the other two hardly flattering either. I like food, and know a bit about it and I don't find it unbearable as an epithet.

Ha! We'll you have a good point there, Shel. When I was a kid, a cootie was "boy germs". There's a totally different meaning these days.
