A word I hate
Authors? Please, never use the word 'turgid' to describe a body part. EVER. Especially not a dick. A turgid dick is, in my mind, one that is spongy, cold, moist. Perhaps chewy. Quite possibly rotting. Turgid is a word for your pruny old auntie with the faded brownish-maroon curtains. It is not a word for anything you'd want to have sex with, ever.
