At the request of several people that I dig through the forums to find this and make it a thing again, I necro this thread. May it rise from the dead and imbue knowledge upon the slovenly.

Here, even new words:

Callipygian
Having shapely buttocks
"Ay, gurl. I see you got dat Callipygian figure."

Cytherean
1. Of or relating to Cytherea
2. relating to the planet Venus (Scientific)
3. inspiring of affections esp. sexual
"You keep up with that Cytherean talk, I might just leave with you."

Torrid
1. Very hot and dry
"torrid heat this afternoon"
-- Full of passion or highly charged emotions arising from sexual love
"A torrid love affair"
2. Full of difficulty or tribulation
"Wall street is in for a torrid time"


You're welcome.
