Starting with some beautiful words

*Piquant- used for things that are pleasantly pungent or appetising. The key point is that such smell should affect one's feelings strongly in a positive way. It should intensify feelings in a positive way. This word is also used for something kindling keen interest because of some strong logic or fact associated with it. For ex- I found his idea quite 'piquant' or Sarcasm in the article was 'piquant'.
*Callow- means not covered with feathers. Signifies something that is innocent, cute but immature and vulnerable. So it has a twist in itself.
*Ruddy- refers to colour of skin in high health. Used for charming complexion.
*Salad-days- refers to days of youthful experience. This has diverse uses given the fields it can cover.
