What bawdy means
Humorously indecent or sexually explicit in a playful, irreverent way rather than graphic or serious.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *baudy*, possibly derived from Old French *baud*, meaning "bold" or "lively," which itself comes from a Germanic source related to Old High German *bald*, meaning "bold" or "daring." The sense shifted in English from "bold" to "sexually crude or indecent," likely influenced by associations with boldness in speech and behavior considered improper or lewd.
