Since it was a lengthy assignment, she started writing high up on the chalkboard. Suddenly there was a giggle from one of the male students. She quickly turned and asked, "What's so funny Johnny?" "Well, teacher, I just saw one of your garters." "Get out of my classroom! Go to the principal's office immediately!" stammered the teacher. Johnny went to the principal's office. As he entered the office, the secretary was getting something down from on top of the cabinet. Another boy in the office snickered, and the secretary spun around. and asked, "What's so funny Billy?" "Well, Miss Jones, I just saw your bright yellow panties." "Get out of this office!" Miss Jones shouted. "I'll see to it that you are suspended for three days." Embarrassed and frustrated, Johnny eventually entered the principal's office. The principal was a sexy woman who wore no underpants and was bending over to pick something up as Johnny entered the office. Johnny simply turned and walked back out the door. "Where do you think you're going?" asked Miss Jones. "Well, Miss Jones, from what I just saw, I'm pretty sure my school days are over."

Several other persons post my reviews with my permission, but I have no control over or responsibility for these web sites. I personally think that the easiest place to get my reviews and the stories I review is Eli's a.s.s.m. archive, but that site is not working right now. If I had to find one of my reviews or a story right now, I would look in the a.s.s. or a.s.s.m. postings or in the Adult Database at www.dejanews.com.

As its title suggests, this is more of an essay than a short story, but it's still a darned good story. The story is essentially a case study in which the author describes how he concocted events from real life to write "Unwrap Party," a very sexy story that he posted back when I first encountered this author's work on a.s.s I would suggest reading or rereading "Unwrap Party" before the present story. Ratings for "Autobiographical Essay" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "It's a Wonderful Wife" by Spoonbender (Theodore@Spoonbender.demon.co.uk). This is a sex slavery story, but it doesn't start out that way. It actually poses an interesting dilemma - what would a relatively straight, attractive woman do if she took a job in an isolated place where it was disclosed to her that part of her job description was to provide sexual merriment for all the horny men who worked there? The author uses effective language; in fact, he often displays a very nice way of expressing himself. However, he also occasionally mars the story with silly and annoying grammar errors. Could something like this happen in real life? I'll answer that question with another. Can you imagine how wealthy a woman could become by suing the oil company that permitted this kind of activity among its employees? Ratings for "It's a Wonderful Wife" Athena (technical quality): 8 Venus (plot & character): 9 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 9 "Connections: Laura" by Peter Principle (PeterPrin@hotmail.com). This is part of the author's series entitled "Connections," a series of personal reminisces, by a guy whose libido was a lot higher than his wife's. I've reviewed one other story in this series, and I'll repost the review. In this episode, the narrator has gone camping with a group of runners the night before a big run, and the woman who accompanied his partner says to him, "I don't really want to sleep alone, and Paul snores. Can I share your platform?" Why sure.... This story deals with two of my favorite experiences: making love under the stars in a place that's so far away from cities that there seem to be so many more stars and sex during a race. I've tried both, but this story describes only one. Sex during the race would be impractical during a 20-mile race anyway - too much possibility of cramps. This is a very sexy story. Ratings for "Laura" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Irina" by Mark Aster (MyFrThAl@aol.com). This story is greatly different from what we normally expect from this author. It combines sex and political intrigue - a combination that will obviously be unfamiliar to American and British readers. It's an exceptionally well written story, but too complex for me to attempt to summarize here. Don't let that scare you away. It's an excellent, sexy story. Ratings for "Irina" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Rag Doll" by LeAnna (kalika@main.provost.msu.edu). Although it still has a few minor errors {e.g., "had bore" for "had borne"}, this is an extremely creative, well-written story. In a sense, this is a spouse-watching story. The wife knows her husband has been cheating on her. She has confronted the Other Woman - in fact, she has had sex with the other woman while extracting the details of the liaison from her. Now she has handcuffed her husband and is retelling the those details to him, while she forces him to pleasure her. What I like best about this story is that it does NOT make the naive assumption that the wife who catches her husband cheating will forgive him, as long as she can join in on the fun. But the way in which the author declines to make this assumption is very creative indeed. I trust my husband. I really do. But I have jokingly told him that if he ever messes around on me, I'll scratch the other woman's eyes out and then cut off his dick. This lady may have a better idea. {Note: A guest reviewer also submitted a spontaneous review for this story. Therefore, there is a second review of this story later in this issue of CR.} Ratings for "Rag Doll" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Rain" by Crimson Dragon (crimson@yahoo.com). Kat has to have a talk with Leanne. She doesn't want to do it. She really doesn't. But she has to. I won't tell you what Kat is so nervous to discuss with Leanne, but I will mention that after the conversation Leanne handcuffs Kat to a large oak tree near their cabin and makes love to her in the rain. It's really pretty sexy! I felt that the author over-used the technique of employing sentence fragments to denote disjointed thoughts. Like this. Especially when the fragments are not parallel. To give the impression of disjointed thinking. Perhaps. It's a legitimate approach, and the author does it better than I did in the previous "sentences"; but I just think maybe the author should be a little more selective in the use of this method. Ratings for "Rain" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 "Mail Call" by Pan (pan@nym.alias.net). Guest review by Bookman. This will be short and sweet. A young collegian receives a videotape from the girlfriend he left home. She shows a short travelogue of places they both know well--then continues with a private tour. Not much more than that, but--oh, baby. I liked this story. Short, clean, compact, and, for all that the two main partners never even come close to touching each other, remarkably hot. A well-written little narration. Ratings for "Mail Call" Athena (general appeal): 9 Aphrodite (erotic appeal): 9 Apollo (personal appeal): 9 "Sacrificial Lamb" by Tiffany. Guest Review by Piper. {Note from Celeste: among some old notes I found this review that I must have failed to post. I reviewed this same story a couple of issues ago and gave it a much more negative rating. In the interest of fairness, I thought I should post this review as well.} This story starts with Gwen and her husband experiencing financial difficulties. No, worse than that, they have watched their life savings, and everything they possess, get flushed down the toilet of his crazy business venture, in dribs and drabs, over the course of many moons. Finally, they have almost literally nothing left except the clothes on their backs. No home, no car, no furniture, nothing. The husband jets off overseas where a job awaits, but money won't be forthcoming for several months. Maybe just in time to move back home and get their foxy daughter Ginger back into her old high school for the start of the next school year. Without a home, Gwen and Ginger are forced to beg for aid from Gwen's sister Gloria and brother-in-law Hank. Well, forced may be too strong a word for it. Gwen has somehow managed to alienate or distance herself from anyone else who might have offered assistance. Her filthy little imagination has been hard at work, and has been surreptitiously guiding her actions. You see, Gwen has a history with her sister, and not a pretty one. Subjected, sexually used and abused, and forced into virtual servitude is the type of history most people would try to forget, and they would try to avoid the perpetrator like the plague. Not Gwen. Especially since she knew Hank had raped one of their nieces. You see, she doesn't see herself in the role of abuse victim any more. Not with her sister or with Hank. No, she was a teenager when most of that happened. Instead, she sees her daughter in the role - raped by her brother- in-law, abused, misused, and probably (hopefully!) even made pregnant with Hank's bastard. Those images are in her mind the whole time, getting more vivid and insistent with each passing hour. But what about Ginger, the obedient, understanding, virginal, and very desirable young lady who just turned sixteen? On the long bus ride down from Cloverdale (somewhere in Canada) to backwoods Arkansas, Gwen explains to her daughter that things will probably be quite difficult. There will be strange events occurring. It's a different place, and she will have to develop some sort of fantasy, or story, or something, to help her cope with what Gwen knows will be happening. This might happen to her, and that will probably happen to her, and the other thing will definitely happen to her. Imagine the worst, she says. Well, the worst does happen, but definitely not in the way Gwen pictured in her perverted little mind. What happens to Gwen probably shouldn't happen to a dog. Well, maybe it should only happen to a dog. Or to a woman who offered up her daughter as a ... (read the title). I like this story. It's well-written, it's coherent, and it's one that made me want to read right to the end. Even through the disgusting bits. The few flaws I found were minor and in no way interfered with the story. Be warned - this is no warm, fuzzy romance. It's not a love story. No heroic prince comes to the rescue. The sex is difficult and mostly non-consensual, although it's not contested. Well, mostly not. That last bit out back of the trailer was very much vocally protested, even though Gwen couldn't fight back physically. And it was definitely disgusting. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Gloria has kids - four boys, hellions, aged 14, 12, 11, and 10. They don't figure in Gwen's imaginings. However ... As somebody-or-other once said, the best laid plans of something-or-other often go wrong (my modern English version - the original, I think, is gang aft agley). Be ready for a story that will haunt your dreams and fantasies. Ratings for "Sacrificial Lamb": Technical merit 10 Plot & character 10 Appeal to reviewer 10 "Wonder Woman/Captain America: Alpha Child" by Dimitri (dimitri_resides@hotmail.com). Guest review by Tooshoes. Like the Wonder Woman TV show, Alpha Child is set in WWII days. Most of the action takes place in Germany, where the Nazis were more advanced than our history books tell us. They had already perfected the technologies of sex- androids and inter-dimensional travel. They also have orifice-seeking tentacle monsters and lots of super-heroes, heroines and villains. Otherwise, this story captures the feel of an authentic WWII story. The plot in a nutshell: The Nazis want to destroy the two American superheroes by any means sexual, while at the same time mating the two, creating an offspring that would supposedly be the perfect genetic specimen. So the trick is capturing and controlling the heroes, which turns out to be surprisingly easy, especially when you consider how long this story is (about equivalent to 100 paperback pages). There are several intriguing subplots in Alpha Child, but these are bogged down by highly repetitive sexual adventures, mostly involving rape, mind control (via Wonder Woman's magic lasso) and strange creatures (androids and tentacle monsters). This story fails to treat these fetishes in a fresh way, and the sex scenarios do nothing to move the plot along. But I did get a few laughs from the androids, and their naive and totally logical approach towards sex. The plot picks up quickly in the last few pages, ending strong, but for me, it was too little, too late. Ratings for "Wonder Woman/Captain America" Grammar and Style: 8 Plot & Character: 8 Appeal to Reviewer: 6 "Rag Doll" by LeAnna (leanna1@hotmail.com). Guest review by Stephen Peters (sxjames@aol.com). This story is archived at the author's site: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Academy/2194/ She's beautiful and sexy, has a good house in an upscale suburban neighborhood, but her oh-so-successful husband has been up to no good. Specifically, he's been screwing his secretary. What's a gal to do? Well, she gets revenge. And, in 300 or so lines, LeAnna shows us revenge at its sweetest, sexiest -- and its most poignant. I really liked this story, not the least because of the detailed, lush and very erotic seduction/teasing scene that makes up the bulk of the tale. The un-named wife meets her husband (Todd) in the bedroom after work, but instead of the promised sex Todd ends up handcuffed to the bed post while his wife describes in extended, delicious detail her conversation (and later sex) with the woman he had been fucking on the side. To add to the hot talk she climbs all over Todd's body, mercilessly teasing the poor fool, driving Todd (not to mention this reviewer) to the point of leaking...well, you get the idea. Yes, she lets Todd know *exactly* what he is throwing away by his infidelity. And throw it away he does. You see, the true strength of this story is that Todd never really believes what is coming. He seems to think if he apologizes and gets his cum it will all be better. Poor fool. Technically, the story rates a 9. There was one typo, (she 'tasted' the tinge of her husbands cum in his lovers pussy, not 'felt') and a few awkward sentences, but this did not seriously distract from my enjoyment. Again, the interplay between Todd and his wife was excellent, and the dialog rang true -- solid 10 for plot and character. All in all, I highly recommend this tale, and hope to read a lot more from this author. Ratings for "Rag Doll" Technical Quality: 9 Plot & Character: 10 Appeal to Reviewer: 10 "Freewheeling Barbara toys with Boys" by Unknown Author (reposted by The Storyteller (storyteller@hempseed.com). Guest review by Dave Myers. This oldie-but-goodie has recently been reposted. I can remember when it was sent out over Usenet the first time. Ah yes! 1993...a time when a.s.s. had mostly stories instead of advertisements...when there were new messages regularly in r.a.e... Moral of the story: sometimes the best porn is old porn. Want to read about a multidimensional female character ? She stops to think about things other than sex once in a while. Want to get good tips on how to write for a female character conscious of her sexuality in ways other than, "Gee, I'm horny..." ? Go no further. Plot synopsis: Barbara, a divorcee, has pent up sexual energy. In the story, we see this released "in character". In other words, she thinks about her actions, and in many ways this makes for better (and sometimes more erotic) reading than the bump-and-grind scenes. This is a slight, but welcome, departure from the housewife-turned-crazed-animal shtick. Enter Barbara's son. I should mention there are a small number of typos in this very long story. One is quite hilarious, concerning Barbara's son: "My own sin will be eighteen next week!" Another typo later replaces "bother" for "brother" with similar effects. Of course, Barbara and son have thoughts for each other, but this writer knows how to use the tension to advantage, and builds up the steam gradually, with near misses along the way. After a number of steamy encounters, we see that Barbara is still quite attractive to younger guys, and she gets plenty of attention. The sex is hot, and Barbara experiences many new things. At one point, even, a glass bottle and a salami get used as dildos (hence, the word TOYS in the title). For some people, this may be a great thing, but for me it goes a little too far. Still, I can only marginally penalize the writer for an otherwise nice piece of work. Rating: 8.5 "Janey's January" by Janey. Guest review by Sandman. (sandman@bitsmart.com). I have certain preferences when it comes to the stories I like to read. I love a story where there's an overall flavor of reality; I love a story where I can get to know the principals before everyone starts hopping into bed; and I really love well written stories that combine both of the above. This story most definitely qualifies as all of the above. Janey, who is married to Bob, is talking to Beth who is married to Steve when Beth says Steve has a crush on Janey. What follows is a rather long flirtation filled with excitement, humor and doubt before the inevitable happens along with an expected twist at the end. OK, the sex wasn't the hottest thing ever written, but the story attempted a flavor of reality and in reality sex is rarely earth shattering and life-changing. Actually this summary really doesn't do this story justice. It's like analyzing a Steven King novel. Break down a Steven King plot and you're going to be laughing your ass off; the trick is all in how ole Mr. King manages to write so folksy he can blind you to the improbability of what is actually happening. Janey makes this husband-swapping story believable and very fun in much the same way Mr. King can make us believe a car can be possessed. The devil of course is in the details, and that's exactly where this story shines. Now here is a personal note to the author and would-be authors: In this day and age there's no excuse not to have an e-mail box so that readers (like me) can read these stories and write a short note that hopefully will encourage more such stories. Free e-mail boxes can be obtained at hotmail.com, lycos.com, yahoo.com, and the granddaddy of them all juno.com. Writers, being a creative lot should have no trouble inventing fictional "real" names and addresses these sites ask for. You can even visit www.netforward.com and set up a forwarding address to get that last measure of control over your anonymity. This is exactly the sort of story I'd read and then sit down to write a short note to the author saying how much I enjoyed it and how much I look forward to seeing future stories. Since I've been deprived of that I guess this review will have to suffice; I just hope Janey reads the CR! Since Celeste has found out we're neighbors she's been sending me an awful lot of really good stories (probably in hopes of keeping me so busy reading good stories I don't have time to write the Celeste's wine bottle chapter). This one definitely ranks among the best of the best that I've reviewed. It's certainly getting my recommendation as a good read.

Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 - Definitely my style. * "Unwrap Party" by Jordan Shelbourne (johnmc@mks.com). Sarah is jealous because Richard is flirting with Crista at the party; and so she takes up with Ben in order to make Richard reciprocally jealous. The author does an excellent job of examining the feelings of Ben and Sarah without being the least bit boring. As the story evolves, it becomes obvious that Sarah's and Ben's affection for each other is genuine and also that Sarah has a major problem with feelings of inadequacy. She is preoccupied with having an orgasm, and these very thoughts interfere with her big bang. This is an outstanding story. The author has a way of describing extremely hot sex so that the reader can almost feel it happening, and he shows a real understanding of emotions. I am definitely going to watch for more stories by this author. Ratings for "Unwrap Party" Venus (plot & character): 10 Athena (technical quality): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 * "Skinny Dipping with My Maiden Aunt" by Day Dreamer. Because of his mother's job, the 15-year-old narrator of this story has to stay with Aunt Sue on Grandpa's farm just outside town. The main difficulty is that they have only two bedrooms, and so he has to sleep with Aunt Sue in her big double bed. Talk about a transparent plot! Actually the situation not all that difficult: Aunt Sue is beautiful and the narrator has a deep and abiding interest in losing his virginity as soon as possible. In spite of sharing the bed with his aunt, Donny is initially virtuous, settling for simple wet dreams in which his imaginary partners look a lot like his bed-mate. When they go swimming, they initially wear their underwear, but it's hard to hide a hard-on in a skimpy bathing suit, and Sue's panties, do not remain opaque when they get wet. As I said, talk about a transparent plot! Well, opacity having been eliminated, Sue decides that it will be OK to go skinny dipping if Donny would like to go swimming again. Boy, would he! And remember, we mustn't tell Mom. And, of course, there's a rule: "Everyone can look all they want, but no handling the merchandise." I guess if the U.S. Constitution can be amended and if the Berlin Wall can come down, we should not be surprised that the Rules of Skinny Dipping can change; and they do. It gets to be pretty hot stuff. The New Rule is that touching and its concomitants should take place only in the pool at the creek, certainly not in bed, where they sleep and have mutual wet dreams together. Eventually the New Rule gets modified with a simple codicil that says it will be OK for them to mutually take each other's virginity. And maybe it would be OK to do it in bed if they were really quiet and didn't wake Grandpa, who seems to be pretty much deaf and senile anyway. As the song says, "Life gets complicated when you get past fourteen...." This is a very good story.

If anyone knows the name of the real author, I'd like to know it.} Julie is an 18-year-old who gets caught by her mother having sex with her boyfriend while her cousin Ann is slurping up her clitoris. The boyfriend gets sent home, and the girls go to their rooms. Then Mom surprises them by first giving them a sex questionnaire downloaded from alt.sex.something and then taking them to an orgy house where the two girls learn to have sex the right way. There's not much to say about this story: it's a well-written, hot story about two girls having a wild coming-out party. Ratings for "Being Taught a Lesson" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 * "Connections: Kirsten (1974)" by Peter V. Principle (an347524@anon.penet.fi). The author says that "Connections" is a series of essentially true accounts, although in some cases names, dates, places, and other minor details have been fudged in an attempt to retain some degree of anonymity for those involved. In this episode the narrator is on a camping trip with three women and a man. They are sleeping in a pitch dark van - packed in like sardines, with his sleeping bag opening toward his friend's wife. And so he pulls the moral equivalent of an adolescent yawn in a movie theater: he moves his hand into the chasm between them, just to see if she is interested in responding. She is. Matters escalate. Can anyone else tell what is going on? Would anyone else in the van be able tell what is going on? Maybe not, assuming the others all lack the ability to both detect sounds and to detect odors - or assuming the friend's wife is dead. I've tried; I have concluded that I cannot reach orgasm undetected in the same room with other people unless there's a partition ( front seat vs. back seat of a car will do) or unless the others are sound asleep (as in the case of children sleeping on the floor next to our bed in a motel room). I've tried it on both the fucking end and the listening end. I've been as quiet as a church mouse and so have the people who have tried to evade my notice. It doesn't work. Can't be done - - unless the others are thoroughly distracted by something else, such as a really good movie or a sermon in church. Hmmm... I guess that means it CAN be done. Never mind. Anyway, they just pet that night; but they get together for real sex shortly thereafter. He comes; she doesn't; but she's happy; and as time goes on she learns new things. This isn't a story with a real plot; it's what lit teachers used to call "a slice of life." This approach sometimes give a greater impression of being "true" than a story with a "better plot." Ratings for "Kirsten (1974)" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 * "She Invited Me to Fuck Her Over the Net" by Lysander (lysander@bitsmart.com). Every once in a while I get the silly idea that I have seen all the possible basic plots on this newsgroup. I think I'm going to stop having that silly idea. The narrator of this story is essentially a lunatic with special powers - like being able to find his lost keys without even praying to St. Anthony. It turns out that one of his special powers is being able to insert pointed parts of his anatomy into the computer when he dials up those Internet sex lines that occupy so much of the spam space on a.s.s. Well, as you can imagine, he gets a Golden Membership and lives happily ever after. It's even more interesting when you read it the way the author wrote it.

The most common use of a hyphen used to be to split a long word into two parts at the end of a line. However, with the advent of the computer, writers rarely worry about this usage anymore. That's because (1) word-processing programs hyphenate automatically with remarkable accuracy and (2) many writers no longer bother splitting words at all. If you do split words by hand, be sure to follow these three simple rules: (1) Don't leave just one letter before the hyphen. (2) Don't hyphenate so that there are fewer than three letters on the subsequent line. (3) Hyphenate only between syllables. (4) If a word already has a hyphen, split it at that hyphen or not at all.. (5) Do not split words where the hyphen would cause confusion. For example, "her-oism" would be confusing. Use "hero-ism" instead. A second usage of hyphens is to join several words into one. For examples, we do this with numbers (e.g., twenty-one, one-fourth). In addition to numbers, the following are occasions when hyphens are appropriate: (1) Use a hyphen to form a compound adjective when you want the two words to be considered a single idea. a well-known prostitute a well-fucked pussy an out-of-date dildo full-fledged blowjob your cock-sucking cousin end-of-the-century romantic literature The above rule applies only when the adjective precedes the noun. If the adjective follows a copulative (linking) verb, omit the hyphen. The prostitute was well known. Her pussy was well fucked. My dildo is out of date. The purpose of this rule is to enable readers to avoid confusion. Readers who see the hyphen will easily join together two words that they would normally tend to separate. Since almost all words that end in -ly are adverbs that modify the following word, a hyphen is not necessary with adverbs that end in -ly. a highly regarded prostitute a slightly fucked pussy (2) Use a hyphen for coined expressions, when you want to make sure readers will put all the words in the expression together. She gave him a go-ahead-and-fuck-me look. (3) Use a hyphen with some prefixes. For example, if a prefix precedes a word that is capitalized, use a hyphen after the prefix. un-American anti-British Some prefixes almost always use a hyphen. You can identify these by looking in a good dictionary. The most common are ex- self- semi- half- quasi- ex-boyfriend ex-lover ex-masturbator self-stimulation half-assed idiot half-completed blowjob semi-literate Australian whore (also semi-literate kangaroo-fucking Australian whore) (4) Sometimes it is useful to use a hyphen to prevent confusion or ambiguity. Who is your favorite comic-strip hero? {Without the hyphen, a reader might think that the hero is a stripper.} a pre-existing disease {without the hyphen, the reader would be likely to try to run the two e's together into a single syllable.} Exceptions and problems: Sometimes words become so closely associated that the hyphen is dropped, and the two words become a single word (e.g., motherfucker, not mother-fucker or mother fucker. If the words were written the latter two ways, they would have a slightly different meaning - for example, there may be a daughter who is a fucker, and her mom might be a mother fucker.). The best way to tell if the combination has become a single word is to check a current dictionary. Another way is to type it as a single word and then let your spellcheck tell you whether this usage is correct. Finally, even when hyphens are appropriate, there has been a tendency in recent years to permit writers to omit them. {That is, well fucked pussies, without the hyphen, have become increasingly common, even among refined English teachers.} However, if the omission would cause confusion, use the hyphens. Recently someone called my husband a goddam motherfuckin' sonuvabitch cocksucker - with no hyphens at all. Years ago, he would have been called a god-damned mother-fucking son-of-a-bitch cock-sucker. Note that even nowadays it would be necessary to use at least one hyphen to call him a goddam motherfuckin' sonuvabitch half-assed cocksucker. Likewise, I need a hyphen to refer to him as a good-looking goddam motherfuckin' sonuvabitch cocksucker. Remember: the whole purpose of the hyphen is to prevent confusion by showing that words or parts of words belong together. VOCABULARY HELP: LITERALLY. The word "literally" does not mean "emphatically." Nor does it mean "figuratively"; in fact it means the opposite of figuratively. It means "according to the exact meaning of the word(s)." Therefore, don't use the word unless you want people to take as true exactly what you are saying. My sister is literally a whore. {This means she really does compensation for engaging in sexual activities.} She literally wore me out with her sexual antics. {This is plausible. This means the speaker was truly exhausted after the activity.} He literally fucked my brains out. {This is improbable, unless gray matter appeared externally during the fuckation.} She literally fucked him to death. {This is possible, but only if sexual activity led to the gentleman's demise.} Her breasts were literally the size of basketballs. {This can be empirically verified by checking with Spaulding.} She literally ate me out. {This might actually be a clever thing to say if she bedecked his cock with chocolate syrup or other comestibles prior to oral stimulation.} That guy is literally one big motherfucker. {This is true only if he actually does indulge with his mama. Otherwise, say "certainly." "Fuck you!" she said. "I hope you mean that literally," he replied. I know of one sportscaster who uses the word literally thousands of times a year, and almost always incorrectly. The word "literally" was used incorrectly in the preceding sentence. Unless he really uses the word incorrectly at least a couple of thousand times a year, I should have said "he seems to use the word incorrectly thousands of times a year" - or I could have simply settled for some other expression, such as "very often" or "almost as often as the pope shits in the woods." -- +--------------' Story submission `-+-' Moderator contact `------------+ | story-submit@qz.little-neck.ny.us | story-admin@qz.little-neck.ny.us |
