Saleratus is leavening for bread making, or starter as for sour dough bread.
Salacious means to behave in a leering, suggestive manner, I believe.
Funnies:
Saleratus - an apparatus made by Sal.
Salacious - A whopper of a sale; a cross between "sale" and "h*llacious".
I think salacious is bordering on the obscene.
Saleratus--no clue.
Saleratus: is a new type of dinosaur just found! hehe

I like the look of your blog, MM!
Yoyos?
hmmmm, must check that out.
I know these. Salertus was a member of the Roman senate during the time of Caligula. Salertus kept his head when so many others lost theirs by being one of Caligula's best drinking buddies.
Salacious is what Caligula thought his drinking buddy Salertus was. We don't have to go any further than that on this one.
What do I win?
Not playing this week as my brain is pretty much mush but I wanted to stop by and say "HI!"
And so I have!
Saleratus - When naval crew get so hungry that even mess food sounds delicious on board. Pronounced sailor-ate-us.
Salacious is how the food really tastes to them. It's not quite delicious, after all. It's the sailor's palate's compromise. Tabasco sauce helps in making said food salacious.
Saleratus- A genus of rats, usually female, known to infest and invade various Sale's.
Salacious- Confuscious's unheard of, no account brother.
