yucking
Making revulsion sounds
Yucking is expressing disgust or disapproval, from the exclamation "yuck." Most often appears in the phrase yucking someone's yum—criticizing or disparaging something another person enjoys: Don't yuck my yum just because you don't like pineapple on pizza.
The phrase gently rebukes those who dampen others' harmless pleasures.
