    it means sexual or suggestive Dialogue

    wiki:

    TV-14 (Recommended for people 14 or older)

    Programs issued the TV-14 rating are usually unsuitable for children under the age of 14 without the guidance of a parent or guardian. This rating was previously known as TV-13. This rating may be accompanied by any of the following subratings:

    V for strong violence (mild references to violence)

    S for moderate sexual situations

    L for moderate to strong language

    D for sexual dialogue

    Many programs that air after 9:00 pm are rated TV-14, including late night staples The Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live. Many prime-time dramas and some adult-toned sitcoms such as Family Guy, MADtv, and That 70's Show use the rating as well, as do many daytime soap operas, such as Guiding Light and As The World Turns. The wrestling show TNA iMPACT! also has this rating. Certain PG-13 or R-rated feature films are rated TV-14 when edited for network or basic cable. The Breakfast Club, which was originally R rated, was given a PG rating in its edited version, for example
