Words/phrases that make you "uuuuuuuugh"
I completely understand that some phrases or words stand the test of time or trends because they WORK. But jfc I'm so sick of some of these being used in every single book, many times more than once.
Please enjoy my list that really acts as a rant. (This started as just a phrase list and changed to a general writing rant)
1.) "my/her most sensitive/intimate/private spot"
2.) "spot that made her/me see stars" (I once counted in a book that used this 13 times. Once twice on the same page)
3.) "over the edge" when used as a euphemism for an orgasm
4.) "he/she erupted"
5.) back hole
6.) the use of tummy instead of belly, unless used in context with children (sounds stupid and juvenile. Though I suppose it could work with lg/DD)
7.) general lack of diverse language (see attached picture
8.) general lack of understanding of height differences (picture attached. Ain't no way either man is coming up behind her and grinding his cock into her ass without a fuckin stool. Or a box)
9.) body jewelry is mostly going to be body temperature. Stop telling me a cock piercing that's attached to a dick, in someone's pants, is cold. Thermodynamics don't work that way. A tongue ring won't be cold unless the character is eating something cold. My rings, on my fingers, maybe be slightly cooler than the rest of my hand, but they are not COLD.
10.) authors who have no problem using cock or dick but can't use clit or tits.
Anyway, I'm sure I have others. I just can't think right now since I'm in a rage spiral against the English language
ETA: 11.) roaring during orgasm. Because all I picture is my partner screaming in my face
