More word pet peeves: "orbs" instead of "eyes." Especially "expressive orbs." So expressive, they show the weather forecast for the next five days, no doubt.

I haven't heard this one before. Not even sure I would have correctly guessed what it means. :)

in light of all the "thrusting" context it just hit me - it is not limited to just eyes! one could use "orbs" instead of "breasts" too :)
her ample orbs were heaving in excitement. as in "ee arbuznie grudi vozbuzhdenne vzdimalis"..
well, that is quite entertaining, especially in the middle of drafting a trust agreement! :) ti zhe tozhe na rabote? :)
