commess
Where it comes from
Late 20th c., via French Creole, from French commerce "business".
noun
- Good-natured trouble; mischief; hanky-panky or high jinks. Romance, tragedy, a simply sweet love story, shame and scandal in the family, bacchanal, commess and sex at its best have been depicted in thousands of romance novels for generations.
- Gossip about local scandals. Even the recognition that commess is a pervasive feature of village life does not affect the judgment that it is alien to respectability, to mainstream morality and behavioral propriety. Again villagers are faced with a contradiction between needing to act out their disapproval of deviant sexual act
