Let Me Now Exorcise the Dirty Words--Part Two
It's a couple of days late but, as promised, here is an exhaustive list of expressions the Sheila character in Chuck Palahniuk's new book uses as synonyms for "a man who wacks off": pud-puller, jerk jockey, chicken chocker, monkey-milker, meat-beater, ham-whammers, cum-caster, pudding-puller, carpet-seeder, yogurt-yanker, bone-honer, gland-handler, sea-monkey sprayer, joystick-jerker, fly-fisher, jizz juicer, sock-soaker, bone-beater, willy-wanker, bacon banger, fist flogger, and page-paster.
I'm studying the list as a copy editing primer of when and when not to use a hyphen.
