Talk:crimson

Adjective sense

Def 2 is immodest. (Can we add an example for this sense?) - I wonder if this isn't a poor definition trying to indicate the use of the word "crimson" as a euphemism for "bloody" (see https://greensdictofslang.com/entry/cxxzj7q) - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 09:29, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

I can find e.g. "her crimson shame" in poetic language, but I think it's referring to cheeks blushing red from shame. However, there are also a few uses of "crimson woman" apparently having the same meaning as "scarlet woman", so that might count. Equinox ◑ 01:06, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
