my freshman year I was in advanced creative writing with a bunch of junior and senior English majors. One of them thought they'd be super cute (and by that I mean obviously more intelligent than the rest of us) and write a "period" piece that wasn't really in any established period. They used the word "ejaculated" in reference to an exclamatory statement (also unnecessary jargon). I circled it in nice red ink and put a big fat question mark beside it, "Is this really necessary?"
the next draft was marked by a distinct lack of ejaculates.
