1. 1

    Bawdiness is the quality of jokes, songs, or stories that talk about sex in a loud, funny, not-shy way. The point is laughter in a group, not a cold or cruel kind of dirt. You meet the word more in books, reviews, and talk about old plays than in the mouths of young people day to day. A critic might say a show has a lot of bawdiness; a teenager would more likely call the jokes dirty or raunchy. It feels a little old and a little British. Though actually the line is soft: what one table calls good fun, another calls too much — the word names a tone, not a fixed list of sentences.

    • [A] Frenchman, viewing the undraped statues which bedizen his native galleries of art, either enjoys them in a purely æsthetic fashion—which is seldom possible save when he is in liquor—or confesses frankly that he doesn't like them at all; whereas the visiting Americano is so powerfully shocked and fascinated by them that one finds him, the same evening, in places where no respectable man ought to go. All art, to this fellow, must have a certain bawdiness, or he cannot abide it.
