"quiche" meaning in English

See quiche in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /kiːʃ/ Audio: En-au-quiche.ogg Forms: more quiche [comparative], most quiche [superlative]
Rhymes: -iːʃ Etymology: Borrowed from French quiche, from Lorraine Rhine Franconian Küeche (“cake”), from Middle High German kuoche (German Kuchen, English kuchen), from Old High German kuocho, kuohho, from Proto-Germanic *kōkô (English cookie), from Proto-Indo-European *gog- (“ball-shaped object”), whence also English cake (via Proto-Germanic *kakǭ (“cake”)). Compare Persian کوکو (kuku, “quiche”). More at cake. The sexually alluring sense orignates from the 2013 Australian TV sitcom Ja'mie: Private School Girl, where it is defined as "a step above hot".
