More About Munchy

What does ܲԳmean?

Munchy describes food that is crunchy or chewy, as in Devin loves raw carrots and celery because they’re munchy and help him focus.

Informally, munchy is also used to describe foods that are eaten as a snack rather than a meal, such as popcorn or cookies.

Example: They had some munchy food at the party but nothing substantial.

The related slang term the munchies refers to a persistent hunger or craving for foods, especially snacks or items considered junk foods.

Where doesܲԳcome from?

The first records of the term munchy come from around the 1910s. It combines the verb munch, meaning “to chew or crunch,” and the suffix -y, which creates adjectives meaning “characterized by.” Munchy foods, therefore, are those that are characterized by being munched (or snacked) on.
