Thanks for the tip for further reading on the ins and outs of sexual perversion. (Yeah and how 'bout them--circa 1886-- "abdominal incisions", anyway? All outmoded societal views and other cultural adaptions aside, the more the world changes, the more it stays the same, eh?)

What I was writing was FAR from clinical, but having a reference that remains detached from the subject at hand might be just what I need to develop the idea further, should I ever feel an urge for a naked swim in the poisoned pond.

Mr. Gyte. Do you have to look up all of those fancy words or are they all part of your everyday vocabulary? I think some of them were made up, but can't be too sure. And yes, it was amusing in a bizarre sort of way.

They're all real (although I think he misspelled pharmocoepiac).

5 Great Words in Jute's Story:
1) baragouin
2) primipara
3) vellicating
4) ataraxis
5) brobdingnagian <--- seriously the best Gulliver’s Travel’s -inspired word ever

In order to read Jute Gyte's story, the average English-speaking person needs two things at hand: A dictionary, and a receptacle in which to vomit.

That is awesome.

Want a quick hint on how not to get a novel done in a month? Use words exclusively from the James Joyce Lexicon. My favorite would have to be bababadalgharaghtakamminakronnronnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk, which is onomatopoeia for the sound of God rending Adam and Eve from the garden.

Remember, when the word count is what matters, monosyllabism is the key!

i used that one, actually. and thanks for the tip with 'pharmocoepiac'.
EDIT: i guess i should mention that, for 'added emphasis' on the drama, i put a space between every letter.
dear freudian slip. please finish your original story. i would love to read it.

well, that depends. oftentimes "word count" is not based on the actual number of words, but rather the total number of characters divided by 5 (either including or excluding spaces, depending on who is doing the figuring). at least, this is how WPM rates are calculated...

Hmmm... didn't know that. Still, in the time it took me to type out "bababadalgharaghtakamminakronnronnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk" I could have written a hundred 'sad dad's.
