<http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=thamiris&itemid=119589&view=2685477#t2685477>Thamiris has a good discussion going about the term "cockhead" as opposed to "head of the cock."
This started my train of thought and connected to something that I noticed months ago: fandom cliches. For instance in one fandom that I've explored, female genitalia is usually described by the word "twat." This is a word that I just loathe. It took reading several stories in that fandom to realize that the authors weren't meaning it as an insult. In the same fandom, the mail ejaculate was virtually always referred to as "jism," and the act of orgasm was "jizzing." Neither phrase is appealing.
So. I want synonyms. Words that I might not think to use because Smallville has its own cliches for the various parts.
Points for originality will be given.

For assholes though...now that can get complicated. Hole, asshole...what else?
For come? Well, I only like come. Jism or something if it is meant humourously only. Like not in the actual sex act itself, but maybe while thinking about it later or something.
Interesting.
