Just Say NO

I really need an icon that says that.

People. Please, for the love of God, STOP USING "smex" (or any variation of it). It's not a real word, it makes no sense, and if you have to resort to cutesy terms when doing your notes/headers on a story? You probably shouldn't be playing in the adult sandbox. (As seen on a recent header: "Pure SMEX and nothing but SMEX" - and just. No.)

Just. Say. No.

This rant brought to you courtesy of too much stress, not enough writing, and hugely swollen feet. Sorry to the innocent bystanders caught up in it.

I was JUST having a rant to some friends about this yesterday. It's cutesy and also a little bit creepy, because it sounds like something a child would say.

NO MORE SMEX, FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE.

AMEN, sister.

The last time I ranted about this (which, gosh, was only a few weeks ago, meep) I believe someone commented that Urban Dictionary lists it as "schmoopy sex". Which is a dumb term anyway. But hand-to-heart, every time I see "Smex"... I think of smegma, and then my brain goes to a Very Very Bad Place.

*cries*

Edit: My bad. It's a combination of 'smut' and 'sex'. *shudder*

It's just LAME. It makes me twitch every time I see it.

Looks like Sammy doesn't like it, either *g*

Hahahahaha. Yes. He is all "I'ma go Boyking of Hell on your ass if you use THAT word". ;)
