ugh this is a pet peeve for me too because it just sounds sooooo out of place! i can kinda power through it if i’m really into the fic and it’s only used once or twice but it’s a pretty huge turn-off
What I don’t get is just how ubiquitous it is. Other stuff I just sort of chuckle at sometimes, or don’t even really notice. But that one– I mean, I saw it a couple places right off the bat, and was like, I want to use that too but I feel like I should make sure, and there, sure enough, it wasn’t era-appropriate, so like, okay.
I am not a particularly gifted researcher. It is not a particularly attractive word. But I bet you if you did like one of those Google zeitgeist maps there’d be a sharp uptick in its popularity and it’d all be fuckin’ Stucky fanfics.
I don’t know how to do that, I just went and looked and I don’t know how. But I bet somebody could.
What’s wrong with calling Steve a palooka or a crumb or a wet sock or something? Why’s it always mook? There’s more to New York than Scorsese or Coppola films and I don’t get the hang-up there.
