Are you lascivious? Do you ever feel lascivious? Do you enjoy feeling lascivious? Do you like the word lascivious?
Would you rather be described as lascivious, or corpulent? |

Something about the word corpulent that invokes visions of a giant pimple about to explode, dressed in a suit and tie...
(maybe subconscious merging of the words pustule and corporate???)
I think i'd rather be lascivious.......... I've even perfected my lascivious wink. It goes well with my unbuttoned silk shirt, hairy chest and gold chains. The ladies love it... |

"lascivious" for certain...
I just dusted that word off last week. Out of no where. I think I learned it in 9th grade and it had been tucked away all these years.
Now everything is lascivious with me lately.
I would pay money to hear Javier Bardem say "corpulent" but I doesn't like the meaning. |

I've always thought it'd be kinda amusing to teach kids a list of difficult English vocab that they have no idea of. > |

| I am lascivious these days. Funny you should mention it. But I prefer the word "wonton". |

Would that be Cantonese, Sichuan or the Westernised fried variety? |

I wanted to ask also, but I held my tongue for fear of being ostracized. xD~ |

Guru knows I have a crush on him, so he's not scared.
To answer your question...Western fried, of course.
Should it be "wanton" then? I stand by my word choice. |

Wise decison. You barely-tolerated newbies best leave the snark to us seasoned pros.
Actually, I love both types -- wanton women and wonton women. Well, the nice one who invited me to Mak's Noodles in Wellington St., she was lovable. and I was lathiviouth!
Was this thread in reaction to asmith's spate of bored-to-death-at-office "Are you a loser?" "Are you a virgin?" "Are you an economic refugee?" threads?

I guess a thread for logophiles, though I like words for their evocative effects, not like the words intrinsically. Is there a word for that?
I prefer "lewd" to "lascivious," and "wanton" is good too. "Lascivious" just seems too forced when used in conversation. Wanton is cool like "zounds" is cool: it's used in Shakespeare's plays and just sounds nuts. "Lewd" with its long vowel but compact form has some punch. The sounds in "lascivious" are good enough, I guess.
I do like "corpulent" too.
Try saying 5/6: the sixths is nuts to pronounce (/s/, /th/, /s/)
The question is though, are there lascivious wontons? The things I like to do with my eats!  |

favorite word as of late:
Congolese
boy that's just nice to say.
lame attempt no. 1:
Of the wanton Congolese cuisine, few foods are as lascivious as the fried wonton, whose presentation is often as suggestive as the morsels are corpulent and crispy.
(alliteration points) |

Lewd is faintly comical. If someone painted a huge c0ck on the sidewalk, that would be lewd. Lascivious has a crueler sound, more seductive and threatening. It's the l, the s and the v. |
