Evan, the written explanation with details and examples would be "Adult
Content" itself. I agree with your comment of "grin", but would add the
words "wicked" or "leering" before it. Grin back!

I don't think I would mark it as adult either.
As for the difference between "some" and "explicit", that is a judgment
call, so it involves a little subjectivity. It's been a while, so I don't
remember exact titles, but I've seen some NLS books marked "some" that
seemed rather explicit to me, and some marked "explicit" where I was
wondering where that was supposed to have occurred. It would be interesting
to know if there's a written procedure for that kind of rating, <smile>,
what counts as "explicit" and what only rates as "some". It might make for
interesting reading. <grin>
