[phoeliac.livejournal.com]

Dunno why, but it makes me cringe too :/

[anindeliblemark.livejournal.com]

Ditto. Yuck.

[starfoozle.livejournal.com]

OP, you are not the only one, trust me! My rather odd aunt and uncle call each other 'lover' as a pet name and it makes me cringe ever time I see it in a fic. Do not want.

[(Anonymous)]

I HATE THIS
it sounds so old-fashioned and it just ... breaks the mood for me in fic ;-;

[turnback-tai-om.livejournal.com]

Is that you, Liz Lemon?

[archerstar.livejournal.com]

I blame SNL.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not very fond of it either. Maybe because I'm French and in my head I translate it as either "amant" or "amoureux/amoureuse" and I find the latter (or the idea behind it) incredibly childish and cheesy and plain inappropriate in smutfics.
I never skipped a fic because of it though because then I won't have anything left to write and I'm already too picky.

[fireholly.livejournal.com]

I cringe at it used as an epithet in third-person limited narration, and if a character uses it to talk to another character I immediately start hearing the fic in a West Country accent.

[zhyvae.livejournal.com]

... why? Somebody explain this to me, to me it's just a word... is it because it implies an affair? Sex without feelings?

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed.

[spockollama.livejournal.com]

I'm with you.

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

I can only take it in a limited amount of circumstances.

[ragnarok-hound.livejournal.com]

Eugh. I agree. There is something so awkward sounding about it, every single time. I can't put my finger on why, but the word just feels gross against my ears. Like some people hate the word "Moist."

[easilyentranced.livejournal.com]

It depends on how it's used. Generally, I don't mind it, but sometimes it does seem odd and throws me right out of the story.

[juanitatequila.livejournal.com]

UGH THAT WORD ALONG WITH MOIST, FLEDGLING, OVULATING AND NESTING MAKE ME CRINGE.

[becksreid72.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm with you on that. I hate the term lover. The only time I ever use it in a fic is when someone is being sarcastic.

[ceasefire.livejournal.com]

I don't mind "lover", but there's plenty of other epithets I can't stand. Like "the taller/shorter man/woman" or "the fairer/darker man/woman". Epithets are very YMMV, IMO.

[caelith.livejournal.com]

It's best if you say it in a West Country accent.

[a-way-of-sin.livejournal.com]

me too, it makes me cringe

[firstmoonie.livejournal.com]

It can change to the pair for me.Sometimes "lover" and pairing just don't fit.

[(Anonymous)]

I sense a bandwagon of the next thing to hate starting right here and I'll bet most of you never even thought about use of the word lover until now.

Personally I don't mind it, but seeing as the groundswell of opinion is against me, I'll stay anon, thanks.

[vethica.livejournal.com]

Okay, this thread just keeps making me think of this (http://i.imgur.com/6iQQg.png).

...in light of which I kind of agree.

[micromyni.livejournal.com]

Any particular reason why?
