So if you see someone acting sneakily, you could see it is indeed "louche" (with the French meaning of this word).
I think "louche", when used in English, has a somewhat different meaning though. Or rather, my dictionary gives "of questionable taste and morality" as a definition. But then, I should beware of French adjectives used in English; while "risqué" (or risque without this accent) means "risky" in French, saying that something or someone is risque in English doesn't quite have the same meaning.

So, if a woman needed to sneak in a quick, hmmmm, "cleaning", it could be called, a "louche douche" (or is French, a "douche louche").

Re: OT- Word of the day.
Narf, when you posted a new day here it was not where I live. Looking at your profile you are from CHEESE and I wondered how many hours are in a day on CHEESE.

Re: OT- Word of the day.
New day new Word!
Today's Word:
Ataxia
lack of muscle control: the inability to coordinate the movements of muscles
This can happen to us all if we play Se4 to much. Sitting down all the time has to bad for our muscles! But then again who cares!

Re: OT- Word of the day.
Would anyone mind if I happened to *conflagrate* this thread? Please? Burning things is almost as fun as throwing things... erh, I mean, people out of the window.

Re: OT- Word of the day.
So, could one say there could be such a thing as a supine lupine?
