Thread Name: Bawdy Song:she stood out there in the midnight air
Subject: RE: baudy old song
Right - I was trying to explain the difference between bawdy and obscene - I said erotica was bawdy but porn was obscene. Or is that begging the question? I'm sure a lady can sing a bawdy song and still be a lady, but I'm not sure she stays genteel!
