How it's used
Refers exclusively to adult content in modern colloquial speech. The original sense regarding animal fur is now largely obsolete in daily conversation and might cause confusion if used in a literal context. It carries a somewhat crude or blunt tone, so it is best avoided in formal or professional settings.

Common mistake
Do not use this word to describe actual animal fur or hair, as listeners will almost certainly interpret it as a reference to pornography. Use 毛髮 or 毛色 instead for non-adult contexts.
