Unsavory for Dummies

Unsavory is a word that we use to describe something that doesn't taste good or doesn't have a pleasant smell. Imagine you are eating a dish and it has a strange taste or an unpleasant odor, and it just makes you feel yucky. That's what we mean by unsavory. It's like when you taste something that you really don't like, maybe something bitter or sour, and it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. It's the opposite of something tasty and appetizing.

Now, unsavory is not just about food. We also use this word to describe people or things that don't seem trustworthy or respectable. When we say someone or something is unsavory, it means that they are not thought of as good or nice. It's like meeting a person who is always mean and does things that hurt others. They might be rude, dishonest, or just not very friendly. We would say that person is unsavory because we don't think they are a good person. It's like when you see a piece of fruit that is all bruised and rotting, you know you don't want to eat it because it's not good for you.

So, to sum it up, unsavory means something that tastes bad or smells bad, or someone or something that is untrustworthy or not thought of as good. It's a word we use to describe things or people that we don't like or don't want to be around.
