LG Gone Wild Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I don't know how it is possible to be so terrible. Instead of me being speechless, I wish these authors were! Maybe not because then I would not have had such a good laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skadi Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 How can 50 Shades be considered more explicit? The author never dares to use stronger descriptions for certain anatomy than "down there" or her "behind." Not that I've read the books...just this utterly amazing review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/340987215 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Okay I wasn't going to click on the link, but y'all's comments were just too intriguing. That was ... odd. Wubbering? :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my favorite points are "bologna wand", the Ronald McDonald meme, the gif of the guy jumping out of the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeW88 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Just exactly where is one's "chysanthemum"? Possibly the worse euphemism I've ever heard. LMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 If I read those books as a teenager I would have taken a vow of chastity. They all made it sound so icky and corny at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnsinkableKristen Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I laughed so hard my kids wanted to know what I was reading. "Nothing, guys, just something about a maw and a saddle." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Not sure which is worse--that somebody actually wrote this stuff or that somebody else published it!! Exactly! I mean, frankly, I'd have to bleach my brain every.single.day. if I were a fiction editor and this is the "best" that came across my desk thus gaining publication. I can't even think how much worse other submissions must be that are rejected. Apparently, someone, somewhere out there knows and uses a worse euphemism than crysanthemum! I don't.want.to.know.
