And neither 'deepthroat' nor 'deep throat' looks right. So, a poll!


[Poll #1130325]



ETA: HAH, got my first 'freak' response. Thank you, foxmonkey ;)

I picked one completely at random, because they BOTH look wrong to me. *frets*

deepthroat makes the spellcheck cry.

still, deep throat looks right and deepthroat looks WRONG. :D

and HOLY FUCK YOUR ICON!

... ellen_fremedon and I agree that a hyphen is called for in this case.

Although for my money, it's fun to read howsoever you spell it. ;)

I'm the only one that picked the "freak!" option? ::is surprised::

How about deep-throating?

I just checked a few porn sites and they used deepthroating. Porn sites win over spellchecker I reckon!

Ok, so I checked my porn *blushes*, and my porn says "deepthroating". Then I checked Urban Dictionary and also my spellcheck. They say "deep throating". I kind of want to make it "deep-throating". Since your poll doesn't have a hyphenated option, I am going for the "deep throating" button.

WHERE IS THE HYPHEN LOVE?!

Ok, so during the whole Watergate thing, they always spelled it with two words so I'm going with that *laughs*

But I think I'd probably go for deep-throating.

I mean, y'know, writing about it :D

Merriam-Webster's (11th edition) has it as two words, no hyphen, but as a noun meaning an informant. I am inclined to say that the verb form should be hyphenated.

I clicked 'deepthroating' but if 'deep-throating' was on there I would have clicked that one... lol.

[dine.livejournal.com]

neither really looks right, but it's pretty much always "deepthroating" in my porn - and they're the experts. *g*

Can I just say I actually spent a good ten minutes sitting at my desk really, REALLY thinking about that.

I either need a life or read way too much slash!
