Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bless the cocksickle!

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am so glad I asked.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Only 10 more minutes, and then I am FREE!

Yay.
