I'm strangely hungry for pancakes and vanilla ice cream
mmm, crepes ...
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Or was he using a folk term already in use there?
That's my guess. John and Thomas being very common names in England, plus men have a very predictable self-identification with their uh..."man-root." t /badfic nomenclature

It's swell to have a stiffy,
This is literally true.

"man-root."
Oh, god, no. Brain bleach!
Or "woman maker."

I recently read a romance novel that called it "his candied length." I was all, "Is that caramel sauce? Or a chocolate shell of some kind?" (And no, they weren't actually playing with foodstuffs or anything.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Crap. My father just called me to let me know that he's been working on my taxes, and it looks like, if I actually report all my income, I owe $1400. (If I only report the income that I've got a W2 for, I get $180 refund.) I'm trying to look up more info on my university website about how to report this stuff, because that really doesn't look right. (If I don't get this figured out tonight, I'm going to file for an extension and talk to an accountant.)

Trust my rage
his candied length.
WTF? I wouldn't want something called *that* anywhere near me. Ewwww.

One of my critique partners is trying to talk me out of using "cock" in my wip. She thinks it's too coarse for the tone of the story. I'm pretty sure it's what a guy like my hero would call it, so I'm sticking to my guns so far.

Now tagless for your comfort.
so I'm sticking to my guns so far.
Stick to your guns in regards to his gun. I prefer "cock", too. Lots of hard consonants.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OWEN SIGNED HIS FIRST WORD TO ME TONIGHT!
I guess signing can't have hard consonants, so my first worry is somewhat alleviated.
