Cloying

Something that in small doses is desirable or pleasant, however in large doses becomes disgusting. Deserts that are overly sweet are described as cloying since they would be delicious if they contained less sugar. The judges on the Food Network show "Chopped" use the terms "cloying" or "cloyingly sweet" to describe a repulsively sweet dessert. An example of a cloying dessert would be a sugar cookie with a frosting that used refined sugar, honey, powdered sugar, sweetened chocolate and high fructose corn syrup. One bite and you would need an insulin shot.

This word can also pertain to people who are tolerable for short periods of time but become annoying and even repulsive if you have to spend an extended period of time with them. You say "hi" or smile as you pass them, but when they stop you to talk they become instantly cloying.

That Creme Brule'e icecream was so cloying, I threw it away after eating one bite. Too sweet for me.

I smiled at the hot chick in the office and she stopped to talk to me, after 5 minutes of her rambling on, she became cloying and now I avoid her.

Some of the most cloying celebrities are: Gilbert Goddfried, Jim Carey, Donald Trump, Kanye West, Chris Brown and Jessica Simpson. I can take them at first, but after a few minutes I have to change the channel.

Datsyuk

Pavel Datsyuk is a Russian born NHL hockey player for the Detroit Red Wings. Wearing Number 13, as a centerman, Datsyuk has played in three Stanley Cup championship games, winning two Stanley Cups to date (2002 & 2008).

He is known for his excellent skating, lightning quick hands and ability to steal pucks with ease. His moves were described as "Datsyukian" by Red Wings television announcer Ken Daniels. "Datsyukian" has become a term to describe any unbelievable dekes or moves during a hockey game by Datsyuk or any other player.

When Datsyuk broke into the league as a rookie he became an immediate contributor to the 2002 championship by scoring 3 goals in the playoffs. The following year Datsyuk was joined by Henrik Zetterberg and put on the same line as Brett Hull. The line, nick named "Two Kids and a Goat", became one of the most successful offensive lines in Red Wings history. It rivaled the "Production Line" of the late 1940's and early 1950's that included Gordie Howe, Sid Abel and Ted Lindsay as well as the “Russian Five” of the late 90’s. While Datsyuk is Russian, he was not part of the original “Russian Five” who won two Stanley Cups in 1997 & 1998, although he did play with members Igor Larionov and Sergei Federov.

"Datsyuk just stole the puck and scored with a back hand shot while spinning."

"The top power play line on the Red Wings is Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg and any other lucky winger."

"My moves on the ice were so Datsyukian that even Datsyuk himself would be jealous."
