How it's used
Refers specifically to suggestive or erotic content in media, conversation, or jokes. It carries a slightly playful or euphemistic tone rather than being a clinical or harsh term for pornography. It is often used to describe movies or books that are slightly risqué or have scenes that push the boundaries of decency.
Examples
Can you stop being so suggestive when you talk?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the literal meaning of salt crystals in cooking. It is strictly used in a metaphorical sense to describe sexual suggestiveness.
