I'm pretty sure it was the Smallville thread. There was the famous "cocksickle" episode -- Club Zero, I believe it was called -- in which Lex was hung upside down in a straitjacket, bald head gleaming in the interrogation-light. Not that they called it the "cocksickle" episode, but I don't think I came up with it either. Maybe TWOP? Or somebody here? I think I just said that we should use it more in conversation, it being such a good word, and not in the bad way that seemed natural (like, "Oh, cocksickle. I dropped my only condom down the vent") but in a positive way, to affirm the essential goodness of the cocksickle concept -- "I got the job and found $20 -- it's just such a cocksickle day!" I think I came up with several examples, by the end of which cocksickles had become like unto the famed tartlets. The conversation spurred a flurry of cocksickle-themed taglines, made the more funny because WX, wise to our porny ways (or somebody's porny ways, anyway) wouldn't allow "cock" in a tagline, forcing the taggers to resort to capitalization and 0's. And if "cocksickle" was startling and attention-getting in a tagline, C0CKSICKLE was even more so. Within a day or two, the whole board had been exposed to the glory of the cocksickle. Figuratively speaking.

but I don't think I came up with it either. Maybe TWOP? Or somebody here?

Wasn't it Ellen's coinage? I'm pretty sure the first cocksicle comments wound up in COMM.

Ah, the glory days of the cocksickle, I remember them well. Good times!

Damn. The original Smallville thread is one we lost, isn't it? PPO is archived, but I don't see the show thread anywhere. Phooey. Cocksicle is lost in time.

Cocksicle/cocksickle moments of glory pulled from my BRQG files:

Shawn: cocksicle. Again, I repeat, adolescent giggle factor. I wish I could use this word more often in everyday life, but it simply does not come up frequently enough in class.

"Well, Professor Simma, don't you think that *not* having a provision in which countermeasures must be stopped when states have a claim before an international tribunal would basically make international tribunals into cocksicles? I mean, really?"

Plei: I'm finding the stupidest excuses to use cocksicle, but as I'm unemployed, it's mostly me yelling at my cats "Ohm, stop being a cocksicle and get off my dry cleaning!" or "Mo, you cocksicle, can't you see I'm trying to type? Off! Off!"

Emily: See, that would seem to imply that it'd be a bad thing. As opposed to, "Oh man, after a day like that, I could sure use a cocksickle."

"It went down smooth and satisfying as a cocksickle."

"My goodness, ita, you look like the cat that got the cocksickle."

Cocksickle, cocksickle... the word has lost all meaning.

Kate P.: I imagine a bevy of Buffistas cavorting madly through the virtual meadows of the Internet, yelling "COCKSICLE! COCKSICLE!" everywhere they go.

More:

Fay: Surely this is the moment when the delectable walking cocksicle releases the wholesome farmboy from the cross to which he has been very heterosexually tied, wearing only his knickers and a kryptonite necklace.

and

shrift: Michael Rosenbaum has a very, very dangerous power, and it's unfortunate that he's usually the shining cocksicle beacon of all that's good and sexy in a steaming pile of crapulence.

"My goodness, ita, you look like the cat that got the cocksickle."

I remember that one - was that someone's tagline?

Bless the cocksickle!

It's trying to snow outside. Too warm, but...it is trying. So depressing.

I am so glad I asked.
