“fecund” It sounds so different from what it actually means. ---

I like ejaculate. Wait, punctuation is extra-important when you’re using verbs that double as nouns: I like “ejaculate.” And I don’t mean the sense that _is_ dirty, I’m talking about the sense that describes what people sometimes do when you jostle them too hard in the street. I like spunk, too. ---
