scrummy

I serendipitously came across scrummy when enjoying a comment by Mickle in NZ on my post on Bresaola Chiavennasca.

Etymology 1: blend of scrumptious and yummy

Adjective scrummy (comparative scrummier, superlative scrummiest): Childish term for delicious

Etymology 2: blend of school-run and mummy

Noun scrummy (plural scrummies): (UK, pejorative) (slang) a woman who causes traffic congestion by driving her offspring to and from school.
