Caenus:
Ain't is not a colloquialism, a colloquialism is a speech pattern distinct to a particular geographic region. 

Ain't is the contraction of a contraction.  It's sloppy at best, but is now (sadly) recognized as a word.

Are you intentionally going through and trying to find SAT words or did you specifically memorize that one so you could find a use for it at some time to look smart?

xofelf:

it means: unwholesome or uncondusive to health
it was used to desribe a tavern....."it was a squalid and insalubrious tavern."
