Exercise Your Figures > Exercise 14: Sound Symbolism

Word Hero Chapter Two

On page 15, I call the Hemingway passage--the one that refers to feeling a woman's breasts through two khaki shirts--"titillating." Not exactly a pun, it's more like sound symbolism: titillating is a titillating word, isn't it?

Try substituting a word in that sentence while keeping it salacious. Use Thesaurus.com if you want help.
