Greg introduced me (and now our children) to the term “scuzzies.”

Scuzzies is defined as the bits of food or other dried goods stuck to cutlery that has been presented to an unsuspecting user. Scuzzies.

I was unaware of the term scuzzies for three possible reasons.

1. The cutlery I grew up with simply never had any scuzzies (but that is highly unlikely)

2. We learned to live with scuzzies and accepted them with open arms into our family

3. We had scuzzies but had a different name for them.

Could you say it in a sentence?

The scuzzies on Hanna’s fork were crusty and orange, despite having just gone through the full dishwasher cycle. Scuzzies.

Last night Hanna picked up her fork and said, “I think there’s scurvy on my fork.”

Maybe that’s what we called it.
