>From the September issue of _Harper's_ magazine (note: *not*
"Harper's Bazarr", which is a home-'n-fashion rag, but rather the media-review/hip-digest thing famous for its monthly review of off-beat statistics), a column of selected entries from the in-house stylebook of L.F.P. (Larry Flynt Press, publishers of _Hustler_, _Chic_, and other fine porn outlets).

Guides to recommended usage at Hustler (quoted from the _Harper's_ article) include:

aureola - Unless it has something to do with the sun or other round object, it's *areola* - the dark area around the nipple.

boobiferous - Slang for *busty*.

deep-throat - Hypenate in all usages except in reference to the classic porn film _Deep Throat_.

derriere - Do not use accent mark.

douchebag - Spell solid. Exception to Webster's.

44s - Slang for *breasts*. Weapons would be *.44s*.

Grafenberg spot - *G spot* is preferred.

hee-haws - Slang for *breasts*.

hilt, in to the - Ultimate penetration during sexual intercourse.

honeydews - Slang for large, well-shaped breasts.

jackoff (n. and adj.), jack-off (v.)

lovemaking - Noun only; the verb is *make love*.

lubejob; lube job - The first involves sex; the second involves automobiles.

manchesters - Slang for *breasts*.

maximum-freedom panties [No notation given]

obscenities - In non-sexual matters (excepting quotes), do not overuse four-letter words. Exercise caution when taking the Lord's name in vain (e.g., *Goddamn!*, *Jesus!*, *God!*).

orgasm - It's not a verb. Use *come*, *reach climax*, etc.

Popsicle - Capitalize brand name. Lowercase when used as slang for *penis*.

porno (n. and adj.) - For the most part, use only in direct quotes. *Porn* is the preferred term.

shinola - Lowercase unless referring to trademarked product.

69 - Use numerals unless it's the first word of a sentence. Also *69ing*, *69d*.

well-hung - Hyphenate in all contexts.

Well - now you know. I expect to see adherence to standards around here from now on.
