Can you explain what you mean by trashy? Sentences like that barely register to me. Seems odd that to me it caused such a reaction.

- solidsnack9000 7y agoThe author goes out of their way to mention something off-colour. That's trashy. It doesn't add anything to our understanding of the paper or the topic. In particular, referring to cross-breeding of related yeasts as "illicit" -- what could be the real purpose here, other than to be off-colourful?
- have_faith 7y agoComes across as dry humour to me, but maybe that is just because I'm British like the Author. Injecting mildly sarcastic or "off-coloured" language into a casual piece of writing is very common. I half get where you're coming from though.
