a. ‘The Benny Hill show is smutty and filthy and should be taken off the TV.’ (Both words are disapproving.)

b. ‘The sleazy scandal of the president and one of his female assistants.’ (Meaning immoral, secretive and dishonest. You won’t be surprised to find out that this is one of the most common words to describe politicians.)

c. ‘Using a phrasal verb with a double meaning is smutty and childish, and I won’t tolerate it.’ (Disapproving.)

d. ‘A prudish catholic girl who gets embarrassed when someone mentions the word ‘procreation’.

e. ‘He is a sleazy / kinky conservative politician and likes rubber masks, sadomasochism, whips etc.’

f. ‘My son! I have found several filthy magazines under your bed, and you will be punished.’ (Again disapproving.)

g. ‘My boyfriend watches those blue films like Emmanuel, that are not very strong, but he can’t stand the hardcore ones that are very graphic.’

i. ‘Those postcards that they sell in London, with the blue / smutty jokes, are not very funny.’

k. In the rugby club they were singing a really, really filthy song about a policewoman and a root vegetable.

l. My boyfriend likes me to dress up in an England football shirt. It’s a bit kinky. Don’t you think? (Approving.)
