Etymology
The word 'yucky' itself is a colloquial term that originated in American English around the mid-20th century, likely as an alteration of 'yuck,' which is an exclamatory expression of disgust. The use of '-ier' as a comparative suffix was a natural progression in English to form comparatives for adjectives that are not typically used with a comparative form. The term has found its place in informal speech, particularly among children and in contexts relating to food or unpleasant experiences. The use of 'yuckier' reinforces the emotional reaction of disgust, and it has become a popular word in casual conversation, children's literature, and media, signaling a humorous or exaggerated response to something deemed unappetizing.
