NEVER, NUNCA, EN ABSOLUTO
Sassy might work, witty maybe, funny but provocative,

Tarty behavior is whorish behavior

Too late... Thanks, anyway.
David, could you please implement a smiley with a purple eye?

We call it a black eye even if it's usually purple. It's also called a shiner. What's it called in Spanish?

Un ojo morado. That's why Alfonso translated a purple eye, instead of a black eye.

Not even I would go out with you after such a remark. I think this is the clearest answer to your question.

But I like how it sounds!
And not all the ladies are the same...
Puritanism!
On the other hand, it was you, Gemma, who said you are a pingo. And you translated pingo as a woman with a tarty behaviour. I thought you were proud of being so, which I would have considered an admirable and great personality.

I don't mind saying I'm tarty, but I don't want others to say it about me. Because when I say it about myself there is a lot of love in the remark...But when it comes from others...
By the way, I'll be wearing a beautifully tarty dress tomorrow. But don't tell any of your girlfriends:"That's a tarty dress you're wearing, I love it" You might end up with another ojo morado.

This is a great explanation about how to treat a lady. Unfortunately, I usually don't go out with ladies. Anyway, I've got my own way. Sure I'll put a lot of love next time I said: I love your tarty dress and dirty manners...

I feel tonight like saying some swearing and sweet words...

I hope you understand yourself, Alfonso, because you've lost me...

I'm sorry Gemma. I don't know what's worse: whether my English is wrong or my thought is raving.

Sure, it's not important.

BTW, looking forward to seeing your tarty dress...
