  Singapore sexual slang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As such, examples of Malay sexual slang are commonly found in the scripts of plays and in conversation quotes in modern novels.

 Words in English :: Usage
Slang is the non-standard use of words in a language and sometimes the creation of new words or importation of words from another language.
Slang is sometimes confused with jargon which is the collection of vocabulary specific to a profession: medical terminology for example.
Slang is often used to discuss taboo or semi-taboo subjects, such as drunkenness, sexual organs and activities (human sexuality), elimination and bodily wastes, recreational drugs, and illicit or criminal activities.

 TMH: Culture-Bound Syndromes in China: Suo Yang (Koro)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
A typical episode will occur when a man goes to urinate in the cold or while emotionally upset (often due to guilt over masturbation or frequenting prostitutes, while concerned about his sexual performance, or after a fight with his wife) and observes that his penis is becoming smaller, a condition known medically as hyperinvolution.
It seems probable that, in a culture where sexual anxiety is high and stories exist of death by genital retraction, a man in the right frame of mind could panic at the observation that his genitals are shrinking in response to cold or anxiety.
Edwards claims that traditional Chinese medical specialists dismissed the epidemic in Singapore as "not really suo yang", which raises the question for the semantic hair-splitter (which most of the culture-bound syndrome specialists are) of the ontological (and emic-etic) status of epidemic koro as a CBS.

 Metroactive News & Issues | Harry Potter Slash
Slashers are careful to include disclaimers warning underage readers about sexual content, and most are careful to "age up" the characters, staying away from the period when the series began (when Harry was all of 11).
Most slashers, meanwhile, bristle at the suggestion that their work can be dismissed as knockoff erotica or demonized as kiddie porn.
It's true that most slash reads more like a paperback bodice ripper than like hard-core porn--Rhysenn's stories, for instance, are heavy on tortured descriptions of moony-moony desire with just a few detailed blow-by-blows (note to Hogwarts headmaster: if the broom shed's rocking, you might try knocking).
