what the hell is wrong with dick? The word--I mean, seriously, what's wrong with it?
The lovely mskatej had a most amusing and informative poll in her lj today, and again it was stated 'dick' is an awful word.

Why? Dick is so..expressive! You can use it so many ways!

I like dick. *pauses for snickers, knowing full well she meant it both ways*

Tell me please, why you don't.

I like dick, too. Hee. I prefer cock, though. And also, hee. :-)

Well, it can be used as an insult. (You dick!) Other than that, it's probably personal preference based on what you read getting into slash. Doesn't really matter to me, one way or the other. *shrug*

*snorfle!* It's great to be twelve no?
See, cock to me sounds weird...sort of ummm...flabby. Heh.

Dick is a wonderful sexual word. Dick is great. Dick is fun. I choose sweat, because sweat implies heat, possible friction and grinding. Yes, oh so sweet grinding.

Dick is a lovely work, not as dirty as cock. I guess its more on the vanilla side of sexual vocabulary.

I love dick! There is nothing at all wrong with dick. Good Lord. Never ever think that. Dick gets many points. (Cock gets more though.)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

You think? Maybe that's it. I'm used to hearing dick. It sounds more masculine to me for some reason.

Also, "don't dick with me."

and "what are you doing?"
"Nothing, just dicking around."
See? Multi-purpose! *grin*

See, cock isn't dirty to me. It's just kind of...blaaaah.
Sweat is good. Very good.

Everbody just uses cock so much that you get thrown when you come across a dick.

.....

LOL!

Dick is more forceful to me. Dick means business. Dick means in the morning, you're going to be sore, and smiling a lot. Cock is kind of..."Oh. That was nice. Care for a beverage?"

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!!!!

Yeah, I know! It's so weird!

I hardly ever heard cock growing up. Maybe because I was on a military base most of the time? maybe my age? I wonder.
And of course, the real hard core word--doinky. I never read doinky in a fic. There needs to be more doinky. *nods*

[strlingdragnfly.livejournal.com]

I like both, personally. *grins*

[teot.livejournal.com]

Doinky? *Doinky*?

OMG, you should so write a story with that! *dies*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Heee! I should! "Clark...did you say....doinky?"

"That's what it's *called* Lex. Doinky."

"I. I can't touch a doinky, Clark. I'm sorry, I just can't."

"Your loss Lex." *pouts* "It's a perfectly good word. It's a *nice* word..."

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Heee! See? both good!

[teot.livejournal.com]

sgdgg;jh

Long live the doinky! *collapses*

[pepperjackcandy.livejournal.com]

Yes, but have you seen Dick?

Also, I'm casting my vote for "weiner."

[treetracer]

Dick means business.

*chortle*

[vibrantharmony.livejournal.com]

See, dick was only used as an insult for as long as I can remember, so it seems out of place often in a fic. Cock just draws me.

Of course, I'm sitting over here giggling to myself about doinky.

Doinky. God.

[rakshathewolf.livejournal.com]

Isn't a doinky the same as an ass? *snerk*. It's the sign of the Democratic Party, right?

I like cock; it sounds toppier to me. Dick is good, too, though.

[valentinemichel.livejournal.com]

Without dick, there'd be no "strictly dickly."

Take that, cock! And like it! :)

Ahem, maybe dick is more R, cock NC17. You know, sort of like studio movies versus porn. Or something.

[valentinemichel.livejournal.com]

Oh, and yes, dick is nice. Cock's sorta fannish to me.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

You laugh! It's true!

[katholicgrrl.livejournal.com]

I don't hate dick, but i prefer cock. maybe it's the alliteration ... actually with all the Britfic i'm reading, i'm getting awfully fond of prick.:)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ah! Weiner, there's a word you want to hear in the throes of passion...nearly as expressive as doinky, but not quite as much as dingleberry.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm...not loving doinky eh? pepperjackcandy suggests weiner, johnson has a musical quality, and of course there's always the classic--wee-wee.
