1. I actually use the word 'bawdy.'
I picked it up from my English AP teacher in HS, who loved 'bawdy' literature and used the word 'bawdy' more than anybody else on the planet.

We used to tell her that all she needed was a stiff drink and a hot date with Chaucer and she agreed with us on it.

4. I try to inject bawdy into most every sentence, whether it
applies or not.

7. Maybe I should use it too. I'm trying to enjoy my 67 year old bawdy...

as it is now, but I secretly wish my bawdy looked like this today. "Ah, youth! It's truly wasted on the young."

From 1956 -- All hot and bawdy in Florida :)
