Feizi's Word Blog

While I try to make the most out of what I have, I feel the urge to expand my vocabulary. This is a gathering of words I pick up here and there everyday. I am aware that some of the words are terribly simple for most people. But since my vocabulary is embarrassingly small, these words are acutally new to me. The definitions are from www.dictionary.com.

About Me

Name:
Location: LA, California, United States

I used to want to ruin my eyes so I can wear glasses to look smart. Now I am an Asian girl in California with a Chinese accent. People automatically assume I am smart, which is pretty cool.

There is a word in Chinese that's called Ai Mei.
It describes a relationship or gesture or attitude that's unclear, but suggests that it is intimate, forbidden, and sexual.

Like when a professor likes his female student, he can't really show it obviously. But sometimes the way he looks at the student, or the way they talk is somewhat uncleanly intimate.
I am wondering if there is an English word for it? :D

I found:
vague
allusive
suggestive
furtive
obscure

But I don't think they are quite right.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
