Lickerish

Archaic, too bad, it's a good word.

Lecher and pervert are heavily loaded, but this can be avoided by using them in verb form: "letching", to letch: "Please allow me to letch upon your gorgeous frame madam"

And perving, to perv - "is there somewhere private we may go that I may perv all over thee"?
 
"And sikerly (without doubt) she hadde a likerous eye" Chaucer.

Chaucer used sickurly also spelt sickerly and sikerly from OE sicor = secure.

Chaucer gives me a headache.

(although, once translated into readable English, the stories are great :) )
 
Don't you just love the English language? So delightfully many ways to talk dirty! Take it from me, it beats growl and wuffs hands down!

If you can get recordings of them in proper period pronunciation, they actually sound easier than they read, bye Sainte Alloie.
 
I thought feeling lickerish was when you feel like getting lickered up. *shrug* Who knew?

\LIK-her-rish\ adjective

Example Sentence

Did you know?
In Anglo-French, the verb "lecher" has two meanings, "to lick" and "to live in debauchery." From that verb came the English adjective "lickerous" in the 14th century. By the mid-17th century "lickerous" had fallen into disuse, leaving us with the variant "lickerish." "Lickerish" was originally cooked up as word to describe both a person who is fond of good food and the tempting food itself. The lexical temptation to extend these appetitive meanings of "lickerish" was very soon satisfied, and the word became a synonym of "greedy" and "desirous." Its use was then extended to describe people and things having or suggesting lustful desires, a use in line with the "to live in debauchery" meaning of its French ancestor.


Hmmm. I had the meaning pegged as slightly different, though lecher was certainly still a part. ;)

"I do not think that means what you think that means."

FYP...
