A bit fresh - or a bit cheeky (7) ?o?l???

Please help.

I think it might be modicum, meaning a small quantity - it is also a disrespectful term for a woman (obs.)

[prospector]

depends on the 'type' of xword ... could be

jollity

A state of joyful exuberance: blitheness, blithesomeness, gaiety, glee, gleefulness, hilarity, jocoseness, jocosity, jocularity, jocundity, jolliness, joviality, lightheartedness, merriment, merriness, mirth, mirthfulness. See laughter.
