This is a review essay devoted to Pekka Vayrynen’s The Rude, the Lewd and the Nasty . Vayrynen’s book, concerned with thick terms and thick concepts, argues for a pragmatic view on the evaluativeness associated with these terms and concepts. The essay raises a number of critical questions regarding what Vayrynen’s arguments for his view actually show. It deals with, for example, thick properties, the fact-value distinction, what it is for terms and concepts to be (semantically) evaluative, and whether Vayrynen’s arguments generalize to thin evaluative concepts.
