Hello,
I have serious problems to understand the word: "sticky". I am working on an article on colours (especially on pink). Pink is twice described as being sticky:
"Those who don’t like pink might say that it’s childish, soft, pretentious and sticky".
Another time sticky stands in opposition to "divine" (it is a kind of headline: PINK: STICKY OR DIVINE?). I do not have more context, unfortunately. I have consulted the Net and found that "sticky" may (among other meanings) mean "embarassing, awkward" ("a sticky question"). Do you, Dear Native Speakers, think that this meaning applies here? If not, how to make sense of it? Thanks for your help.
