I need a color name for an outrageous shade of lipstick -- preferably not only campy/funny, but unlikely to be worn by anyone else (any other *character*, thank you very much). Please and thank you.
Update: on the civilian thing, for now, I'm going with a phrase that makes sense in context.
Gracias por todo, IP

I kind of like "fuckin fuschia" (although I am *surprised* at the author, to say the least) and it does answer the unasked question of how you spell "fuschia." (You see, I couldn't spell it to ask it). So, if you'll let me, I'll leave it at 'fuschia." Thanks, kindly. yIP

Told you I couldn't spell it. -- Thanks (That the shrub is a primrose is appropriate in context)

'cept I misspelled it. Fuchsia is not so uncommon, though, IP -- look at some cosmetics website like Revlon or Maybelline or something -- I think you still need a qualifier. Maybe freakin'?
