Etymology: "Bubblicious" is built from "bubble" and "-licious," a suffix pulled out of "delicious" and borrowed as a playful intensifier. Because "-licious" is a standalone sound with no meaning of its own, it can be fastened onto almost any noun, which is why it turns up in so many coinages. The result is a word that means exactly what it sounds like: a flavour, sweetness, or texture that recalls bubblegum. Its charm comes from the suffix doing the work of a compliment, so "bubblicious" reads as "bubblegum-delicious" in a single breath.
