smut
Grain fungus disease
Smut connects ideas of dirt, blackness, and contamination.
Originally soot or black grime, smut extended to the black fungal disease that destroys grain crops.
The figurative sense—obscene or sexually explicit material—treats such content as moral contamination: The book was dismissed as smut.
Smutty describes something mildly dirty or indecent: smutty jokes.
