Watch Your Language

From [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes:

Dirty Words [protected post]

[livejournal.com profile] naamah_darling has been struggling to find just the right tone to convey with writing porn.


Don't get me started on "vagina." Especially as it is commonly used wrong. Hint: you can't really see the vagina from the outside without some spelunking and maybe a penlight. The external female anatomy is the vulva. That word is even worse still, as it not only sounds like a kind of car, but like a doddering old person's car with one turn signal perpetually blinking. Next time you read the word "vulva," you will picture an old man in a hat. See if I'm wrong.
 

Context has quite a lot of lovely NSFW language and a lot of genuine care for their placement.
Go read the Context link. It's good for a chuckle.
