DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAWKISH AND SENTIMENTAL
Mawkish means excessively sentimental
or so sappy it's sickening.But mawkish
eventually evolved to mean something
so overly sentimental it makes you sick.
It's not a word you hear very often these
days, but feel free to use it to describe
really lame love poems and annoyingly
mushy Valentine's Day cards.
HOPE IT HELPS YOU!!!!!
