(And please don't tell me the dictionary lists "hippy" as an alternate spelling for "hippie." I know that. It does that because people misuse the word so much.
The Oxford English Dictionary very clearly lists 'hippy' as the primary spelling for both the hips and the lifestyle, and gives hippie as a variant spelling for the lifestyle.
One phrase which makes me blink is 'throbbing cock'. Not when the point of view is the owner of said throbbing cock, because I've asked, and apparently that's a reasonable description of how it can feel. But from a third party's perspective? I've never personally seen a cock throb, and I'm not sure I'd want to. Twitch, yes. Bob, indeed. Throb? Not so much. Likewise, less of the 'pulsating', please.
Since I've got the dictionary open, 'come' is a perfectly good noun, beloved by the OED, while 'cum' is both ugly and totally unnecessary. And 'cummed' is just...no. No.
Oh, and while I'm venting, 'a while' and 'awhile' are not the same thing.
