How it's used
Describes content that is sexually suggestive, crude, or otherwise offensive in a way that is not suitable for polite company. It is frequently used to describe jokes, movies, or magazines that contain adult themes or vulgar humor. Unlike formal terms for obscenity, this carries a slightly lighter, more colloquial tone often associated with 'naughty' or 'risqué' material.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe someone who is simply rude or impolite, as it specifically implies a sexual or vulgar undertone. Using it for general bad manners can sound confusing to native speakers.
