I recall a line in C. S. Lewis’s The Silver Chair about Jill wandering around the giants’ castle “making love” to everyone. (“…gosh, I don’t remember the Narnia books being so racy!”)
There was a similar line in a movie (probably involving time-travel) where the head of a food company snorted at the idea of selling bottled water. (Anyone remember the scene/movie?) IIRC, he made quite a speech about how absurd, even Communist it would be.
Recently been watching some reruns of ER starting from season 1. Seems like they are talking about AIDS in every episode. I know that AIDS is still a thing, but with early ER it is like that scene in Being John ** Malkovich where John Malkovich goes into his own head and everything everybody says is
Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich.
“You gotta learn to hold ya own
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone”

Speaking of Conan Doyle, I read all of his Sherlock Holmes stuff when I was 6th grade, and he used the word “ejaculate” quite often as a synonym for “interject”. :eek:
When I first saw It’s A Wonderful Like as a teenager, I was plenty surprised by the line “He’s making violent love to me, Mother!”
At least it’s never lupus.
Another of my favs…“So he sat as I dropped off to sleep, and so he sat as a sudden ejaculation caused me to wake up, and I found the summer sun shine into the apartment.” :eek:
I do love the way he writes.
Someday I’m going to google something and will be surprised by a SD link not being on the front page. (And here’s a link from some other site.)
(And yes, I do sometimes notice the term being used in retroactively hilarious ways on older TV shows.)
Not for people living in rural and mountainous areas. Almost everyone has a cellphone that most emphatically does NOT work in all the stretches of road. Lots of places with either no cell reception, or not for your carrier.
