My New Favorite Japanese Word

kuchisabishii
[Koo-chi-sa-bi-shē]

When you’re not hungry, but you eat because your mouth is lonely

**********

We are good at rationalizing kuchisabishii.
Here are some of the better ones (if you really need them):

I’m eating just in case I get hungry later.

I heard it whisper: “Eat me. I’m yummy.” So, I did.

When she said, “Would you like a cookie?”
I remembered that it is wrong to lie.

Have a nice day.
Enjoy kuchisabishii!
