Re: Cliche phrases in fanfic that you loathe

[(Anonymous)]

"Amber liquid" sounds stupid because there's no need to describe what beer looks like, that makes it sound like it could be something that isn't beer or something.

I don't see the problem with "pooling low in the belly" though. I haven't used that phrase myself, but it seems more solidly descriptive rather than flowery, and it seems to me a pretty good description of how arousal can feel.

For me, I just don't like unnatural "alternative" epithets for normal things. Like calling eyes "orbs" (unless you're really focusing on how hypnotic it is or that kind of phrase otherwise has a purpose), weird words for genitals, and in anime fic, any descriptor of hair color like "bluenette" for someone with blue hair - especially as an epithet.

The main problem I have with "pooling low in the belly" is that it is absofuckinglutely everywhere in fic, and it seems as though no one can think of any other way to describe feeling aroused. Plus, I just don't like the word "pooling" used in that context. I don't like how it sounds or looks, I don't like the imagery it produces, and I don't like its ubiquity. "Pooling," begone from me.
