Re: NSFW words you hate

[(Anonymous)]

Pussy, tits, wang, describing dicks as "spongy" "weeping", and any "fancy" word the writer puts in without bothering to look it up / figure out how it works grammatically / what eras it's appropriate in (e.g., no, a contemporary dude isn't going to call anyone "wanton"; no, "eloping" isn't a synonym for "fuck" so nobody's going to be caught "eloping against the garden shed"; and no, "making small keens" is not a thing, stop it forever.)

"Making small keens" is a thing. It's a strange thing to put in a sex scene, but it's very much a thing.

The word for what they mean is "whimper", or, if they want to get cute with it "mewl". A "bitten back cry" will do in a pinch.
"Small keens" is an oxymoron which I've never seen used in a context to justify it, and using the verb "making" with it (rather than just saying "keening quietly") is just plain unidiomatic.

Whimper is probably the better word, but something being an oxymoron or unidiomatic doesn't make it not a thing. The fact that people are using it is, in fact, making it idiomatic.

Well, it may be end up being acceptable to the in-group of some sort of pornography-specific sociolect, but my silly hill to die on is refusing to accept an error just because lots of people make it. I love a good oxymoron *when it makes contextual or artistic sense* but I can't see it in these usages. I will abandon each fic I see it in. Just as I will correct my students who write "everytime" as one word, no matter how often they argue that "lots of people do it" or "but it's the title of a song".

I get that. The oxford comma is mine. It's actually a work policy that we not use it and, when my boss told me that, I said, "Nah, I'm gonna use it." And that was the end of the conversation. He knows me well enough to not try to die on that hill.

“Weeping” is especially bad for me because I associate it with infected wounds.

I’m glad to have missed that use of “eloping”, though I’m sadly familiar with “wanton” and “keening” used in very weird ways for smut.

Weeping, oozing... Yeah, both I immediately associate with puss. Not sexy.

Saw "eloping" misused like that a few times in fic set in the early 1900s, and keep thinking whoever writes that way must be seriously misunderstanding the source canon. Also amusing is when they try to use "strumpet" in some sort of pseudo-period dialect attempt at dirty talk.
