The term "ruttish" is employed in literature to convey a raw, animalistic quality of lust and salaciousness. Authors use it to evoke primal sexual instincts and untamed desire, as when a buck is described in a manner that heightens the urgency of rescue [1]. It is defined in moral and explicit terms to mean lascivious or salacious [2], and further extended metaphorically to characterize figures with a sly, hedonistic nature—as illustrated by a character likened to a fox with lascivious attributes [3]. In another striking use, the term is directed toward a confessor in a provocative twist that blurs the line between the sacred and the corporeal [4].
