Well, so you made me go look it up and now I just like it for the sound. To me, it meant 'slightly naughty without being wicked'. Apparently to the rest of you weirdos it means an unhealthy interest in indecent topics. Stop that.

What? No. It definitely means "slightly naughty..." Where did you look that up?

Just checked ALL THE DICTIONARIES. They are in cahoots. I suspect a conspiracy is afoot.
