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.

Funny, dick sounds toppier to me. Doinky....be so ashamed, so ashamed.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

lol!!!

I think that's it--cock is a fannish word now, kind of the accepted thing, yes?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*loves all over your icon* One of my all time favorites! You know what. I really like prick as a word too. It sounds better than cock to me.

I like dick...

especially if Bruce has him bent over the Batmobile.

What's wrong with "thingie"? It always worked well for me! Descriptive if used properly, plus almost a secret code. :D

Where is your icon pic from valentinemichel? I don't think I've ever seen that TW pic!

I love cock and I love dick! Prick works fine too! The only one I have a real problem with is throbbing member. I hate it when people call it a member. A member of what?!!

I think cock maybe my favorite word in the English language. It sounds so dirty to me. I never heard the word cock used until I started reading fan fic. Dick has always been around and used in every form possible. I always think of an insult when I hear the word dick. Cock just seems unique to me. Like it's a fan fic thing:) Mmmmmmmmmmmm cock!

Uhhhh, the one that says Valentine on it I mean:)

[valentinemichel.livejournal.com]

Oh, *big time* accepted. Which sort of makes it *less* powerful, less transgressive and more... *conventional* in a sense.

[valentinemichel.livejournal.com]

Ah, thanks for the clarification. :)

LaT made the icon for me in the early days of SV fandom. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where she got the photo.

[katholicgrrl.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, i agree about the member! way over and ill-used. i could see it if we're talking Holmes/Watson, but Harry Potter? I don't think so! (and i have seen this)

[katholicgrrl.livejournal.com]

Cock sounds kind of cuddly to me. Dick, well, this dates me, but i always think of Nixon! :p

[miss-tress.livejournal.com]

Dick means business.
*runs off to find pictures to icon that phrase with*

I like dick. lol..um.

Yeah, so dick as a word. It seems appropriate, especially in slash fiction, especially if one of the boys is going to say something about his dick. Because a guy says dick, most guys say dick. Whenever my husband has said cock, it's because I've prompted him (uh, don't ask?), and he's always seemed uncomfortable. Men say dick. You know? I have never had a problem with it in slash fiction. Ever.

I've had problems with other words like...hmmm...tumescent. lol. That will never be sexy.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I think yes. It's so...everywhere. To me dick still has a outlaw kind of feel to it.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Dick=Nixon? LOL!!!

Re: I like dick...

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Yeeeeeesssss....

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oh please please make me one? *wimpers*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh! Thingie! How could I forget thingie? Henceforth, in all my fics, Clark will be getting the thingie from Lex!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

A *little* bit of throbbing is okay, but member always makes me think of membrane which is noooo parts sexy--ewww!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Whenever my husband has said cock, it's because I've prompted him (uh, don't ask?)
are you kidding? Hell yeah I'm going to ask--lol!!!

Tumescent--yark!That's just so technical sounding. I can understand that we search for different ways of describing the same old thing but some words need to be left alone.

[coneyislandbaby]

You know why for me, Dad's name. Can't read it *blushes*

[coneyislandbaby]

Oh, and it's only in a sexual sense. Can read it in discussion, just not in the sexy parts.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oy! No, no! That makes it a crime! I understand that completely!
