    It’s worth saying that “sexy” is not translated well in other languages and cultures. It was very common in Thailand and Malaysia while I lived there to hear parents and relatives say their child was ‘sexy’. I wouldn’t be surprised if it also made its way into Chinese-English parlance as “visually appealing” rather than “I’d fuck that”.
