Scholarly- intellectual, academic: "This frock is reminiscent of Greco-Roman era design. The whorl pattern was extremely common in hand-crafted garments, such as this dress."
Sensuous- passionate, luscious: "I would kill someone for this dress. It's gorgeous and I love it."
Simple- clear, intelligible: "I like the dress too. The swirl pattern is really pretty."
Slang- lingo, colloquialism: "That's hot! This is the coolest dress ever."
Symbolic- representative, metaphorical: "This dress is a piece of history. It's an emblem of Greco-Roman culture at its zenith."
Trite- common, banal, stereotyped: "I thought Romans were just gladiators. I didn't know they cared about culture."
