Salty \Salt"y\, a. Somewhat salt; saltish.
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
mid-15c., "tasting of salt, impregnated with salt," from salt (n.) + -y (2). Meaning "racy" is from 1866, from salt in the sense of "that which gives life or pungency" (1570s, originally of words or wit). Meaning "racy, sexy" is from 1866. U.S. slang sense of "angry, irritated" is first attested 1938 (probably from similar use with regard to sailors, "tough, aggressive," attested by 1920), especially in phrase jump salty "to unexpectedly become enraged." Related: Saltily.

Salty is the second album by New Zealand rock band The Mutton Birds, released in 1993. Four songs—"The Heater," "Anchor Me," "In My Room" and "Ngaire"—reached the top 20 in the New Zealand singles chart; "The Heater" peaked at No.1.
"Don't Fight it, Marsha, It's Bigger Than Both of Us" was originally recorded by an earlier band of McGlashan's, Blam Blam Blam. "The Heater" is used as a plot device in the Christopher Brookmyre novel Be My Enemy; two central characters bond over it, and it is used as a contrast against the manufactured pop music made by a minor villain.
