"Dirty"
Posted by Gordon Smith
"Dirty" is the OED word of the day. Almost always used as an adjective, "dirty" also serves as an adverb in one circumstance:
Used adverbially as an intensive: very, exceedingly. slang.
Examples include this sentence: "I was lying flat on my back when a great dirty black Junkers dropped a big one." And this: "I'm going to grow a dirty big fig-tree outside my home." And: "Time for a dirty great pint."
That is a dirty cool word.
