Etymology
Gamy can also mean a little indecent, and a helpful way to remember this is to think of the original 'gamy' idea of something bold or 'off' in taste; from that image people began to use gamy for remarks or details that are a bit rude or sexually suggestive. So gamy in this sense means slightly improper in a playful way.
