Talk:nasty

Groovy

Lots of funk musicians use the word nasty when they mean seriously groovy, you dig?

Slutty, sexy, pornographic

There seems to be a usage in modern culture where nasty means something slutty, sexy, pornographic, or something along those lines. "Nasty girls".

• You are right. It's the main, the first, definition of the word, read the page again.--Dignitee (talk) 19:57, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

"Dirty, filthy" might mean muddy shoes. Doesn't suggest porn necessarily. Equinox ◑ 03:17, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Slang for vagina?

Can it be slang for vagina, as opposed to the act of sexual intercourse? See dry as a nun's nasty. Equinox ◑ 23:41, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Not 'as opposed to' I don't think. "They did the nasty." allows only the "intercourse" definition. But an additional sense is plausible, even likely, though I've not heard it. DCDuring TALK 02:10, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Scratch

Is "nasty scratch" an idiom? If it is it, what's the etymology of the idiom? Why doesn't it mean "deadly"? Dignitee (talk) 19:55, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
