How To Pronounce Inappropriate Novels & Stories

A stern, older woman, the teacher glared down at me. “What do you have to say for yourself?” I hesitated. “Sorry?” “That’s not good enough. It may be acceptable to be late to class wherever you are from, but it’s certainly not acceptable here.” “Unacceptable,” I said, and immediately regretted it. An awkward silence covered the room. “Excuse me?” the teacher asked, slowly. “You said ‘not acceptable.’ You meant ‘unacceptable.’” “OH—SHIT!” exclaimed a noisy boy from the back of the room, and the entire class erupted into laughter.

"Ooh..." "But Sophia?" "Yes?" "It's best not to use that word." "Why?" She was having fun experiencing first-hand how her fiance would handle a child who accidentally learned a curse word. Would he tell the child the truth or settle that a child's innocence should not be tainted? "Because a bitch can also be an insult to a person. And insulting a person will make them feel bad." He patted her head. "You don't want to hurt people, right?." "So it is a bad word?"

“How about telling them to come suck on my dick?” Lucas frowned in response, “that's grossly inappropriate Alpha.” He replied. “But I feel there are other ways you could convey your thoughts without having to be vulgar.” He said. “I honestly feel saying that is okay.” Dean replied. “Absolutely not, alpha.” Lucas replied stubbornly. “Not only is it inappropriate, people might disrespect you if they heard that you said stuff like that.” “So what do you suggest?” “How about telling them we'll get back to them.” “How does that fulfill the objective of annoying them?” Dean asked with a growl escaping his lips.

I could smell the anxiety rolling off them in waves, sharp and acrid. I winced inwardly, the word hitting my ears like nails on a chalkboard. Luna Zane. God, it just didn't sound right. It felt like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole, and the sheer awkwardness of it made my skin crawl. I'd have to get used to this, I supposed, but that didn't mean I had to like it. Maybe I could convince everyone to just use 'Consort' or something equally neutral. Anything but Luna.
