Wow, thanks for all the suggestions! I was aiming for "saucy" gallicisms. I think a few of these suggestions would work well in my "Sexy and Saucy" list too.
That's funny. I'm trying to avoid words that are too obvious, but perhaps a neologism like "licksome" incorporates the same idea. In the spirit of toothsome and winsome!
Hey!! I see that somebody has taken a jab at me for sitting quietly. I just found the site this past weekend, so it should be permissible for me to lurk for a little while. Besides, nobody has made any comments on my words. Although someone did correct my misspelling of "absit invidia" - thanks. I was sort of hoping someone would make some suggestions for my word lists. Anyway, hello!
