Weekly Word of the Weak: Salacious

I've been re-connecting with many high school friends via Facebook lately. It's been FUN! The Ghost Hunter and I didn't know each other much in high school but we at least had known OF each other. So, now we're Facebook buddies and we've had lots of thought-provoking conversation. He was talking about a show in Showtime called "The L Word". I've never heard of this show. He began describing it and emphasized that it wasn't "salacious".

WOW

What a HOT word that is, huh? The very push of breath out of your mouth while pronouncing it is erotic. But, good erotic it is not. "Salacious" is beguiling. It sounds romantic, but is quite the opposite:

sa⋅la⋅cious 
 /səˈleɪʃəs/ Pronunciation [suh-ley-shuhs]

–adjective
1. lustful or lecherous.
2. (of writings, pictures, etc.) obscene; grossly indecent.

Thanks, Ghost Hunter, for the good word that's this week's Word of the Weak.

Happy Hunting, my friend!
