gamey overtones Explanation: Or "a hint of gaminess". Game, such as venison, is hung up to "age" which really corresponds to the notion in the Spanish, which literally translates as "rotten"... And the adjective "gamey" is the first euphemism that sprang to mind when I saw the query. "It tasted a bit gamey in a bad way but I guess it depends partly on what you do with it.

It's simply the first thing that I thought of... Example sentence(s):
