Seeing obscenity in something innocent sounds a lot like something Lobelia would do...should I write the fic or will you? *g* Notice how it's the puritanical who seem to squawk like this? Repression causes more of what it seeks to repress and makes it come out nasty and hurtful.

My friend's daughter used to do the cutest thing before her bath when she was three. She'd run out into the living room (at our encouragement) and shake her booty while we all sang out "Naked Booty Dance!" Then she'd run back in the bathroom giggling. It was the cutest thing. Then my friend's parents came to visit once and so we encouraged the little one to do Naked Booty Dance for their entertainment. They said it was disgusting and all of us looked at them like they were from Mars. I was shocked by their response. How sad for them to be so repressed they couldn't see the cute in a happy toddler tickled to be naked for a moment?

I'm sure ridiculoud was a type-o, but I think it's the accidental creation of a perfect word for that type of person.
