i love this word, it has such a soothing sound to it
Mozart wants to set his opera The Marriage of Figaro in a boudoir:
"Because I want to do a piece about real people, Baron! And I want to set it in a real place! A boudoir! – because that to me is the most exciting place on earth! Underclothes on the floor! Sheets still warm from a woman's body! Even a pisspot brimming under the bed!"
(Amadeus, Peter Shaffer)
I have to restrain myself from making an inappropriate comment.
Fun fact: "Boudoir" comes from the Old French verb "bouder" meaning "to sulk". A boudoir is a lady's private sulking-room.
