scrumdiddlyumptious
Whimsically extremely tasty
Scrumdiddlyumptious means extremely delicious or delightful, an exuberant intensification of scrumptious.
The word was popularized by Roald Dahl in children's literature and retains a playful, childlike quality: These cookies are scrumdiddlyumptious.
It's rarely used seriously—the absurd length signals enthusiasm or affectionate exaggeration.
