"salacious" = sensational?

[Jonathan Lighter]

Non-Freudian actually.  After all those freshman themes, I've had a hard time with _intention_ vs. _extension_.

  Of course, I'd have to say that, wouldn't I?  What is it I'm _really_ hiding? Hmmmmm?

  But seriously, Alison, if you found "intentional" Freudian, or better yet Joycean, I will accept all credit. And, for that matter, cash.
