Lesson 274--Colourful Language


 
 
Colourful ( American spelling colorful)

Obviously this word means full of colour, but it can have another, entirely different meaning.  When we use it with language, it means crude, dirty, foul and inappropriate.

Examples

Martha always used colourful language to describer her ex-husband.

The school principal punished any student caught using colourful language.

Recently, television has allowed more and more colourful language.
