Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy Or rather, here in the US "spunk" has 2 meanings, the risque one, and spunk/spunk as in feist/feisty ("wow, she's really spunky!"/"You've got a lot of spunk!"), but we don't use it as in "hot" or "va-va-va-VOOM", lol.
Originally Posted By officerminnie Spunk does not have that meaning here, either! If you say someone is spunky, they are sort of impulsive and full of energy. However, the term spunk can also have a whole different meaning (and I'm guessing similar to the one in the UK). Sort of like the word gay. Old school meaning vs. new age meaning.
